"They think, 'Well, I didn't have some kind of big injury,"' she said, so they don't realize that any remedy is available.

The woman who was killed was identified as Jennifer Riordan, according to CNN affiliate KOAT, which cited Annunciation Catholic School.

Jennifer Riordan was killed Tuesday after the left engine on a Southwest flight from NY to Dallas failed and caused debris to crash through a window of the Boeing 737-700. Phillips, McGinty and the other passengers became so focused on helping Riordan that they didn't even realize the plane was landing and had to brace for impact.

Jennifer Riordan was a 43-year-old mother-of-two and executive for Wells Fargo bank in Albuquerque, New Mexico. But as it reached cruising altitude, the left engine suffered an uncontained failure (metal fatigue is suspected) - debris was thrown towards the aircraft, causing a window to shatter.

An NTSB investigation subsequently found that an engine fan had separated from the engine hub midflight, and that there was substantial evidence of metal fatigue in the area. Then what sounded like an explosion suddenly jolted the plane, passenger Marty Martinez said. "I feel really very fortunate for that". Flight attendants were "brave, composed and helpful" throughout the ordeal, Madison said.

Amos said after 35 years of flying, he still took out the safety card on each flight to learn about the plane he was sitting on.

They said they were working with investigators and would not be talking to the media.

Her mother-in-law, Virginia Shults, told The Washington Post that as soon as she heard the pilot's voice on the radio transmission online, she said "that is Tammy Jo".

"In an emergency, a well-briefed passenger will depend less on crew members and have a greater chance of survival". "By all reports, I thought the crew acted magnificently", said Kelly.

It was a rough landing, he said, and things were so chaotic he wasn't sure if the plane was going to crash. "I immediately knew something was wrong". The jet could have been landing on a freeway for all he knew, he said.

"But I also knew that whatever God's plan for me was, I was going to be blessed either way", he said. "Finally when we. came to a halt, of course, the entire crowd was (in) tears and people crying and we were just thankful to be alive".

Each airline and aircraft has different evacuation procedures and equipment, so experts say it is always important to watch each one. She remembers texting her daughter to tell her that she loves her 20 minutes after the plane took off. A piece of the engine covering was later found in Bernville, Pa., about 112 kilometres west of Philadelphia, Sumwalt said.

The National Transportation Safety Board is finishing up its initial examination into the deadly Southwest Airlines engine failure Thursday - but many questions remain unanswered.

"When the parts are off the aircraft and in the fix station a more thorough level of investigation can be performed that would be impractical whilst the engine is on the aircraft wing".

In August 2017, the Federal Aviation Administration proposed a rule that would require airlines to use ultrasound to inspect fan blades of certain CFM56-7B engines.

Except for it being his birthday, Tuesday was "a quite normal day" for Jim Demetros of Stamford - until he heard a tremendous boom on the left side of the airborne Boeing 737 flying from NY to Dallas.
