Southwest offers apology, $5000 to passengers on damaged flight

When the plane's left engine exploded due to a fan blade breaking off, shrapnel from the explosion blew out a window and married mother of two Jennifer Riordan, 43, was partly sucked out of row 14.

Celina Fire Chief Mark Metdker offered high praise for Needum. "So, my heart is broken for them and I just pray comfort and they find healing", Needum said. Federal safety investigators have said the naked eye can not detect the cracks and signs of metal fatigue that doomed the engine on Southwest Flight 1380. "In fact, I think she may have told me to go. and what took place back there I'm going to leave out of respect for [Riordan's] family".

"There was a family that lost a loved one", Needum said. Southwest Flight 1380, was heading from New York City to Dallas when the engine failed, prompting the pilot to make an emergency landing in Philadelphia.

A nurse onboard the flight said passengers performed CPR on Riordan but were unsuccessful in saving her.

She was anxious about a woman sitting near them, alone, with her baby girl and Riordan, who needed help. "For some reason, whatever reason that is, it was me that day". "And the thoughts that were going through my head of course were about my daughters, just wanting to see them again and give them a big hug so they wouldn't grow up without parents".

Stephanie Needum, his wife, said that after the episode had ended, Shults spoke with the passengers. "I don't know of anybody that's any better person than Andrew Needum", he said. The plane made an emergency landing and no one was injured.

"I just knew at that moment that someone else needed him much more than we did and that's what his calling is".

The plane reportedly depressurized at 30,000 feet, injuring many others on the flight when the incident occurred about 20 minutes after takeoff from LaGuardia Airport. Needum has been a paid firefighter for four years. Investigators study the probable cause of single accidents and recommend possible changes to safety rules, while regulators have to assess whether safety risks could appear.

"What they're trying to zero in on and focus on is whether or not they have issues with ongoing metal fatigue that are gonna lead to additional and further catastrophic failures", said Ron McCallum with McCallum and Associates Law Firm. It was really excellent team work between all of them to try to get Jennifer back in safe and keep everybody else safe at the same time, ' Mackey said.

CFM, jointly owned by General Electric and France's Safran, also recommended inspections by the end of August for fan blades with 20,000 cycles, and inspections of all other fan blades when they reach 20,000 cycles. Blades that fail inspection will have to be replaced.
