A Southwest Airlines jet sits on the runway at Philadelphia International Airport after it was forced to land with an engine failure in Philadelphia Pennsylvania on 17 April 2018
Southwest Airlines Pilot Tammie Jo Shults, along with First Officer Darren Ellisor, said in a statement Wednesday night that when they safely landed Flight 1380 on Tuesday they were just doing their jobs.
Shults was among the first female fighter pilots in the USA military, according to friends, and flew the Navy's supersonic F/A-18 Hornet. Riordan was the sole person killed in Tuesday's incident, dying from injuries suffered after the Boeing 737's engine came apart.
Southwest pilot Tammie Jo Shults is being praised for her cool demeanor after her plane suffered a blown engine - killing one passenger - and she was forced to make a one-engine, emergency landing in Philadelphia with almost 150 people onboard Tuesday.
Air rushed through the rapidly depressurized cabin, and "all this debris is flying in your face, down to the aisle of the plane, into the back of the plane", Tumlinson said.
Gary Shults, her brother-in-law, said her husband Dean is also a Southwest pilot."She's a formidable woman, as sharp as a tack".
They say she's most proud of her family - her husband, who is also a Navy veteran and Southwest pilot, as well as her two children.
Shults was among the first female fighter pilots in the USA military, according to friends and former classmates.
Tammi Jo Shults is from Olathe, Kansas, and graduated from MidAmerica Nazarene University in 1983.
As reports of her unexpected emergency telephone to broadcast traffic controllers began to circulate following this incident, Shults was hailed a hero. "Could you have the medical meet us there on the runway as well? It appears we are going down!" passenger Marty Martinez wrote in the caption of a livestream video, showing himself breathing through a mask.

"We have a part of the aircraft missing", she told air traffic control.
For engine failures, common procedure is to disengage the autopilot, determine the source of the shutdown (fire, physical damage, etc.), either restart the engine (if safe and possible) or shut it down properly, and land the aircraft as soon as practical.
"We have a part of the aircraft missing, so we're going to need to slow down a bit", Shults replies, before settling into a lower altitude of 3,000 feet.
Shults, 56, and Ellisor said they won't be partaking in any interviews, and "ask that the public and the media respect our focus".
But the controller quickly got back on task: "Southwest 1380, doesn't matter - we'll work it out".
"She has nerves of steel", Mr Tumlinson told The Associated Press. "I promise you, if she was sitting right here she would say that the Lord guided her hands and she was led by God", said Rachel Russo, another friend.
"If you can possibly imagine going through the window of an airplane at about 600 miles per hour and hitting either the fuselage or the wing with your body, with your face, then I think I can probably tell you there was significant trauma", Phillips told ABC. "She's up there with Captain Sully" Sullenberger, he added of the famous pilot who splashed down his US Airways jet on the Hudson River in 2009.
Thinking the military flight program was closed off to her, she said she enrolled in graduate school at Western New Mexico University and considered finding a new career. "All the passengers wanted to know who we owed our lives to", he said. "Knowing Tammie Jo, I know her heart is broken for the death of that passenger", Virginia said. I'm glad he's safe, and that nearly all the lives were saved.
Southwest Airlines, which said it was "devastated" by what happened, declined Wednesday to release any information about the crew.
