1 dead in Southwest Airlines flight has uncontained engine failure
PHILADELPHIA -- A Southwest Airlines jet apparently blew an engine and got hit by shrapnel that smashed a window and damaged the fuselage Tuesday. Southwest Flight 1380 was flying at about 30,000 feet when the explosion took place. The incident killed one passenger and injured seven others, authorities said. The plane, a Boeing 737 bound from New York to Dallas with 149 people aboard, made an emergency landing in Philadelphia just before noon as passengers breathing through oxygen masks that… (www.cbsnews.com) さらに...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
Does anyone remember Reeve flight 8 over Alaska?? They had a massive decompression lost of fight controls and a hold in the cabin floor all due to a engine failure.
Google does:

That was a much different scenario and I believe a much worse. If you remember the prop came loose, went under the Fuselage slicing it open. When that happened, it cause a bracket to bend and pinched the control lines. What saved them was the fact that the Autopilot did not use the same control control cables and they were able to control it with manual control on the Autopilot control panel. Also if memory serves they had throttle control issues as well that forced them to make a very fast approach and shut down at crossing the numbers (or somewhere close)
Sparkle my main man lol how are you??? If I recall I think they shut down engines 1 and 3 right after they touchdown. But yes it was a total different situation. But what I was getting at was they both had engine failures and both had fuselage issues lol. Reeve flight 8 crew actually had to saw them selfs out of the mess by messing with the controls. Over time the cables came loose and allowed them to land.
Very True... I can buy that... You know me, I was looking at more of the Technical and maintenance issues in my comparison, Either way it goes, crews of both did an excellent job. One big difference that I see here is that SWA had a book and procedure to follow... Reeves had to make it up as they go.... Nothing in the book told them what to do if they lost most of there primary controls.
In every photo of the cabin I've seen of this flight, the passengers are wearing their oxygen masks over their mouths ONLY and holding them with one hand. What's that all about?
