#WN1380

10:02 Emergency Vehicle asked "how many injures do you have on the aircraft" Thank you for the upload

She wasn’t sucked completely out of the window. Other passengers managed to pull her back in but she succumb to the injuries sustained. Cause of death was determined to be cardiac arrest. This is speculation but I believe heart failure came from the violent ejection from her seat causing internal damage. RIP

Is the woman at the window seat? Then how they cope with it after window totally gone?

According to WSJ, the plane suffered a uncontained engine failure. Parts of the engine broke apart and struck the plane.

VASAviation - If you didnt know, the person who has died is a businesswoman and we already know her name (I forgot it)

Firetale it’s what most pilots do once they retire from whatever branch they were in. Commercial airlines love it

@FalconerPhoto Mate, he never said anything about her gender, why are you putting words in someone's mouth?

Lime No doubt...and you can tell in her tone of voice that she’s very far from rattled.

Not suprised seeing how calm cool and collected she was.

@Nancy Pelosi You are confusing between the average of the Gaussian and exceptional people on the far side of the Gaussian distribution

matt b That's why the training is intense, especially the psychological...... :/

She was the first women qualified to fly F/A 18s in the Navy. VERY cool and professional.

Needless to say the ATCs did their job remarkably as well. A dangerous emergency situation being handled by professional and well trained people all round.

I heard another report claiming that she flew the F-15 . . .

And the best pilots are.... Navy

I suspected she was former military with a few of the words i heard coming from her. Biggest giveaway was the "Say Again" You will never ever hear "Repeat" over a radio in the military unless its dealing with a fire mission

First officer was an Air Force pilot too

MrSupasonics she is so inspiring to women! 😊

That makes sense. No one like a military pilot to keep cool when shit hits the fan

Crew seem to figure there is a hole and injury too late. They maintain 10,000ft for too long, probably could have saved her if landed more quickly.

Seems like i hear it a lot, watching the various landing videos. Sounds British to me.

That's how they indicate that they won't be making any more transmissions on that frequency--their way of saying "over and out."

The way I was trained you always say "good day" before a frequency change. Besides sounding polite, it gives the controller verification that you consider the interaction to be finished, and it gives them a second to cancel your frequency change.

Well, a year late but every emergency I've had with ATC has ended that way because I always say "good day" so the habit pattern kicks in. An emergency is no time to be thinking about how you communicate, it is time to fly the aircraft.

That "good day" literally made me gasp... Heart broke right there. "Keep your seatbelt fastened while seated..." takes on renewed significance when you hear of something like this.

Jason Mizuno yeah well done atc but they didnt have a fucking exploded engine..... the wing could of fallen off lol

I did notice the amazing number of flights and the instructions that needed to be given. Glad I never tried to be an ATC!

at 3:04 you can hear a bit of that here too

@@lochvids108 A human being perished, yet you flippantly make an ignorant off-the-cuff remark? You're a real class act. And since you're all okay with the use of expletives in your snide remark, you are hereby invited to go FUCK yourself, you Goddamned cretin.

What was the cause of this?

I thought I heard compassion in her voice, but no other emotion. She did an excellent job bringing the rest of those passengers down safely.

yes

I would have freaked out, due to my mild anxiety syndrome. If I was the pilot, I would have probably done a Mach 1 dive, to get to low altitude quickly, risking the airframe integrity. Thankfully I wasn't the pilot. Kudos to her skills and composure. God bless this person.

And yet she did not declare an EMERGENCY right away? Wtf?

@@akureiokamii she didnt know what happened until the cabin crew got in touch, which doesnt happen until after the flight crew run through the checklists they have

Yeah, they tend not to put a lot off unnecessary pasts on airplanes. But for another crazy partial airplane video, do a search for the video of an f15 that successfully flew 15+ miles and landed safely on a runway with only 1 wing. It sounds pretty bad, but when you see the picture, you realize that it didn't sound half as bad as it should have. I pull up that picture now and then to remind myself that nobody is going to die a single second before their time.

Another thing you don’t want to hear is that someone went out the hole on the side of the plane. RIP Jennifer Riordan

@@desertrat7634 Yeah, I think the guy's upstairs couldn't believe the field reports. I can imagine the engineers scratching their heads going over the reports and trying to figure out how to explain this to the upper brass in the military.

to experience that at such a young age...

What A pilot.she deserves a medal

Next time wear a seatbelt 🤷‍♂️

@@U.s-epa The window probably broke at the same time the engine blew up, which is when the emergency started. I'm not involved in aviation at all, but I imagine they weren't flying in conditions that required them to wear a seatbelt.

@@Gestrid you always wear your seatbelt unless you're up and about. People getting comfortable going 550mph 35000' in the sky 🤣 gotta stay humble

And yet she did not declare an EMERGENCY right away? Wtf?

What abpilot she deserves a medal,she is awesome

Tammy greatbpilot and so smart br great if everyone showed compassion tovtheirbpassengers

@@akureiokamii it’s assumed… I had a non annunciated depressurization at altitude and just told Boston center I was descending. They understood and declared for me. Same situation here.

@@akureiokamii It was abundantly clear to all involved that this was an emergency. She was getting priority handling, stated the malfunction and it was well understood. Res ipsa loquitor.

I don't blame them, especially when they are given someone else's order, typical BK "service". And the bread is ALWAYS stale.

@@zurdoremi Maybe stop eating at shitty 'restaurants' and you won't have to deal with that.

I know right BK lol. Captain was great how she kept her cool. Not every pilot can do that. Hope everybody was OK in the end. I can't imagine how bloody scary it must have been for the person who almost got sucked out of that window? 😱

In an emergency. You must stay calm. Mind over matter. It can save your life.

A.N.C.

@@Sarah.Riedel You beat me to it. You want to know why she sounds so calm? She has been trained that flying the aircraft is her first priority. She definitely knew about the depressurization. That is why the plane is so rapidly losing altitude after the engine blows out. The plane can maintain altitude with a single engine but she knew she needed to get to a safe level for the plane to not be pressurized. Once the plane is safe, then she is able to worry about where to land the plane and communicating what is going on to ATC.

It's not uncommon to hear a pilot speaking through a mask - general aviation, sometimes airliners when flying at high altitude with one pilot at the controls, and of course military. But it's a good clue in combination with the other ones. Engine-out descents are slower and can level out at a fairly high altitude. Leaving FL300 at about 10,000 feet per minute, slow to answer the radio, speaking through a mask, and report of an engine fire - that's enough to guess that there's also a pressurization problem and the aircraft intends to get down to about 10,000 above sea level. I think the controller could have handled the curveball a little better, something like: "SOUTHWEST 1380 I UNDERSTAND YOU HAVE AN ENGINE FIRE AND ARE DESCENDING. I WILL DECLARE EMERGENCY FOR YOU. SAY INTENTIONS WHEN ABLE."

ANC - Aviate, Navigate, Communicate. In that order.

Also people clearly breathing from masks.

Phoenyx 787 I had an emergency last week. You don't really have time to panic. Another pilot told me I was calm until I was on the roll out of landing and I knew I was safe. My flight was a solo. No passengers no other crew on board. The jest of me telling this is in the moment all of your senses go into full overdrive the number 1 priority is flying the airplane. Like this pilot requested no frequency changes. She didn't want anything extra when her hands were already busy flying and setting up for the landing.

David Michael But the reality is some people do panic. Probably not at her level though. She's a former naval aviator so she was the right person to be in that seat when it happened.

J Shepard yes some do. But in the moment you panic you die. Hell of an option but in an airplane the first thing you have to do is stay calm. You don't get a redo.

J Shepard Naval aviator has absolutely nothing to do with it!!! People are delusional about military pilots being superior!!! Some pilots from all backgrounds suck, while the rest are good!!!

@@jshepard152 oh, there are examples of airline pilots panicking and making a bad situation worse. But they're very rare.

Definitely however I feel like they could’ve had medics onboard a little sooner

Thankfully only one person passed, could have been a lot worse. Heart attack of all things though.

Thank you for your good comment. Aviation is all about learning. Sad for the tragedy.

Jman Cardiac arrest is NOT a heart attack. A heart attack is a myocardial infarction.

LA Fresh Life pilots*

GemCat was thinking the same, both control and pilots tone changed once they realized everyone did an outstanding job of reminding calm and focusing on the most important task of getting the airplane on the ground safely. This could have been much worse, condolences to the family.

They all did outstanding jobs to keep everyone safe and give that woman the best chance to survive. Absolutely tragic event but I commend everyone for pulling together in this situation.

yes

TAMMIE IS AWESONE,BUT 🙏🏻🛩😇God Bless her🛩

Adapa yeah it didn't take her out the passengers got her back in. But regardless I can't even imagine, even more disturbing she was probably setting next to her family.

Interview with the Oklahoma Uni professor says she was sitting with the two strangers who tried to help her first.

@Games With Nic Same happened on TAM-Linhas-Aéreas-Flight 9755 in 2001

Very tragic. Things or people are not sucked out of airplanes. They are pushed out by air pressure inside the aircraft.

@@azopene It can be considered that all actions considered as 'sucking', including using a straw, are really pushing.

I have no doubt that you would handle an event like this with such professionalism too Steveo. Keep flying safe

steveo1kinevo i

@@runwayincursion3376 and there's a lot of static

@Moist Gnome shes a veteran navy F18 pilot. i would want her specifically

@Moist Gnome dont tempt me with a good time

Yes I take a long look at female pilots but this bird sounded good.

@@PoppysGuitarsexist

I guess, but I still think she sounded good.@@shiningstars9507

What a champion Tammie was definitely facing disaster already and dropping that plane to get on ground for safety,what a CAPTAIN 😇🤩all the way Tammie

She's 🏆 champion of all 🏆

Aviate, Navigate, Communicate. Hollywood wants to have pilots screaming "MAYDAY!" into the mic but that's not how veteran pilots are trained to behave.

She’s a retired fighter pilot. The USAF trains them to basically be fearless. Imagine a MiG coming at Mach 2 straight at you while you are at the same speed.

@@TheEmeraldMenOfficial Navy not Air Force. USAF wouldn't let her in to service.

Kyle Campbell why do you say that? Women are in operation in the armed forces since 1948.

@@mjoakes Because if you read her book shes says multiple times they wouldn't let her in. The Air Force wouldn't even let her apply. Then when they did the recruiter lied about women having higher standards.

yeah thats what a cold hearted drone ex soldier says, dont know what empathy is and loves warfare and all the power it brings with it. disgusting

Javier Caselli, the engine is believed to have had it's fail in the section not protected by the debris shield. The explosion is believed to have been in the center or just in front. Not under the protected frontal area. 😞

Seems as fan disk centrifugal rupture - somebody fails last engine maintenance. It was like exploding grenade near passenger cabin. Otherwise - crew handled this nasty business very calm and pro.

In the NTSB photos the N1 front Fan Disc is intact! So there was Not a Front disc failure!

No it's not, look closely. A fan blade is missing

Berkut it reminds me of United Airlines 232.

You could hear the sadness in her voice though. Like she took it personally. Good heart on her.

US Military aviators are some of the best in the world.

We must remain professional ;)

I heard that and thought that the brief silence afterward was definitely a moment where all the implications of that statement came crashing in...then it was time to put that aside and focus on getting them on the ground.

Xplane1972 Not even the NTSB has this transcript. It's amazing how fast the aviation community can do something that government agencies just can't.

Anthony Swanson I think it's all because of gov't bureaucracies getting in their own way

Her performance was unreal considering what she had to handle.a lot of lives thanks to Tammir you r a hero and a star

artisteric not the first in the 737 and wasn’t the last... And yet we manage to learn more from every death. She died to a freak accident, one that hopefully can be kept from happening again.

Lloyd Bonafide I don't know about you but a plane overshooting the runway and killing a kid in a car sounds like a crash to me

Indeed. There was a barrier in the engine cowling that was supposed to prevent parts that are flying out of an engine from reaching as high up as the windows.. but it still happened. I can guarantee that research was done, with painstaking recreation of the path from the engine to the window, so that they can modify the engine assembly to prevent this from happening again.

@@maxbowen6482 apparently you have zero reading comprehension skills. He said first death on an American airline since 2009.the accident you're referring too happened in 2005.

@@joeg5414 I wasn’t replying to him. I tagged a user who’s comment doesn’t exist anymore

I knew what was coming and it still sent a shiver down my spine. Thanks +VASAviation for getting the edit out so quickly.

Indeed.

That moment when everyone working in ATC goes "WTF".

ATC must have been oh shit something big just went down

That was heavy

You r a credit to ur country and to the people u eeere ptrotecting

The ATC was atrocious.

You wouldn't even know by their voices which is amazing

well appearantly the pilot is a Navy aggressor pilot, and she's one of the first.

AsHalt - yeah lol I literally just read a BBC article and saw that!

Yeah, you can really tell by how calm she stayed. Kudos.

They simulate and training for this so often that when it actually happens the training kicks in. Not saying its another simulator run but it is natural for them because they have practiced it so much.

When I search her name I see an image with children. So sad :(

God will provide for her family 😔He just needed her more right now😇

Donna Rupert Don't do that...

amen

Donna Rupert Thats... that's a stupid way to push God, lol...

Ejaz Ahmed also one of the most heavily fined airlines in the world.

Unfortunately Southwest had another engine failure such as this ( SW3472 on 8/27/2016). But no one died. But they had some serious problems recently a couple sudden cabin depressurization for one and they were fined for several safety violations.

It is not always a matter of Southwest's maintenance, especially in the case of the engine failures. That kind of thing could be blamed on the engine manufacterers

It's actually the second in-flight death on SWA, but the other one was a passenger who was forcefully restrained by other passengers and suffocated.

@@cripplehawk southwest Flys a ton of short haul flights and puts many more cycles per flight hour on the aircraft than just about anyone else. Also the majority of their fleet was starting to get pretty old around 2016. They've basically ordered a whole new fleet, but planes can only be built so fast. However they have been making a strong effort to get the oldest planes out of the air and replaced as quickly as possible. They are known for going too fast sometimes. But have still managed to maintain an almost impeccable safety record compared to almost any other airline, especially when you factor in the aforementioned frequently of short haul flights and many flight cycles per airframe. It's the only airline I ever fly for domestic flights and I have an uncle whos a senior pilot at American

Sadly it was in vain.

@@TheEmeraldMenOfficial I mean at least there was a body to return to the grieving family. Had they not pulled her in she would have had zero chance of survival. A hero is a hero regardless of if it was ultimately in vain.

Thanks for helping with this one. Speaking as an appreciative viewer. Kind of soul shaking to listen and read.

The captioned reading of the transmissions was very helpful.

agreed! no prob. Most of mine wasn't used but I'm still glad to help.

the woman who died worked for wells fargo

Dhruv Dange that’s what I was feeling when I heard that. I was like come again?

She actually didn’t go all the way out. She got stuck. I don’t know if that is better or worse. Doesn’t help my anxiety with flying though!

I thought the controller was excellent when he heard that, basically telling the pilot that they'd deal with it when they landed, letting her focus on getting down safely.

Jonathan Stewart yes the controller was excellent but imagine you getting this message as a controller. How sad and scary this is. The controller did a great job and there is no one denying that.

+Mortiis558 Neither better or worse. Dead in under 10 seconds is still dead in under 10 seconds. Looking at the bloodstains down the side of the plane, the body was half out for a while and literally flapping/disintegrating against the fuselage.

This pilot was trained for this kind of accident She deserves the best😇😃😀💟

Thanks for watching!
