From what passengers on Southwest Flight 1380 said later, Captain Shults managed an almost unbelievable feat in bringing a badly damaged aircraft safely to the ground quickly while providing enough information in as composed a fashion as imaginable to keep passengers from totally freaking out. Sadly, one passenger died from injuries incurred in the incident. An engine explosion blew out a window, and the woman was nearly sucked entirely out of the plane. Flight attendants and passengers attempted to save the woman’s life, but she was unable to be resuscitated.

I’ll give her credit, but nobody should be making a big deal about it. She’s probably done the same thing in a simulator many times.

I would suggest her simulator sessions might have included much more difficult circumstances.

She had an engine out but it seems everything else worked
