Aisle seat appreciation thread
For those on the fence;

Southwest Airlines Flight 1380
quote:

At 11:03 am Eastern Daylight Time, the aircraft was flying at 32,000 feet (9,800 m) and climbing when the left engine failed. As a result, most of the engine inlet and parts of the cowling broke off. Fragments from the inlet and cowling struck the wing and fuselage and broke a window at row 14 in the passenger compartment, which caused rapid decompression of the aircraft. The flight crew conducted an emergency descent of the aircraft and diverted it to Philadelphia International Airport (PHL). One passenger sitting next to the broken window suffered fatal injuries and eight passengers sustained minor injuries.[3]

Yeah aisle seats are the best. Our football seats are aisle and I get the added bonus of watching people trip right next to me because one of the steps is slightly taller than all the rest of them.

I’ll never forget the audio from that incident.

YouTube

SWA1380: Can you have medical meet us on the runway? We’ve got injured passengers.

PHL Arrival Sector: Injured passengers ok, and is your airplane physically on fire?

SWA1380: No, it’s not on fire, but part of it is missing. They said there’s a hole…and someone went out.

She was just as calm as a cucumber. Which of course is to be expected for that profession, but from a human standpoint I still

I guess I’m really the weirdo because I choose the window seat and leave the window closed the entire time.

I used to want the window seat on a plane until I watched the engine casing catch fire and we dropped quickly.
