Автор: 23.04.2018
The plane of the American low-cost Southwest Airlines, which flew from New York to Dallas, was forced to make an emergency landing at the airport in Philadelphia.

On board during the incident there were 5 crew members and 144 passengers. Seven of them were wounded, one woman was dead.

The death of the passenger was terrible! As a result of the explosion of the engine, the fragments broke through the fuselage and smashed the porthole - the passenger was wounded and dragged out of the window. People on board took a few minutes to get her back to the salon. After landing, she was hospitalized, but doctors could not save her.

More victims were avoided thanks to the professionalism of female pilot Tammy Joe Schulz, who with one working engine made an emergency landing in Philadelphia.

The Federal Civil Aviation Agency launched an investigation into the incident.

Firefighters found that one of the engines had a small fuel leak and a fire. After landing, the fire was immediately extinguished.
