Witness on the news said the woman's body above the waist was outside the plane. They pulled her back in and did CPR for about 20 minutes but it was not going to be enough to save her.

Where was there blood? The picture of the window doesn't show any blood.
Could this be blood on the outside? Or hydraulic fluid, fire suppressant, or something else?

Yeah those windows directly behind the blowout look redder than the rest.
This is really a sad incident that happened today. The airline industry is one of the safest ways to travel nowadays but it's still scary that this can actually happen (some final destination type shite). I was honestly more worried about driving around BR or Nola on a daily basis than flying on a plane

This is why I always get an aisle seat.

GE has an exclusive deal with Boeing for the 737 engines, and Southwest pioneered the “we only buy one kind of airplane” model, which are 737s.
Southwest has GE field service engineers in charge of each of its fleets for maintenance and inventory management, spares etc. Depending on the engine model and age, they're overhauled based on cycles or hours, or both. Major teardowns are usually 4-5 years apart. It'll be interesting to see what comes of this to say the least.

To say the least? What else would you add?

It seems like we haven't had a major US airline disaster in a long time. Odds are it's going to happen sooner rather than later.

Holy shite, that's nasty. Based on the pattern starting right behind the window, I'd say it's blood. I doubt any hydraulic lines would be run between the windows.

Last fatalies were in that Colgan Air flight that crashed on the house in Buffalo. I think it was nine years ago.

If half her body was hanging out the window I’m sure she was just flapping and banging against the plane like a rag doll.

PHILADELPHIA — An Albuquerque woman died when a Southwest Airlines jet apparently blew an engine at about 30,000 feet, causing shrapnel to smash a window and damage the fuselage. Friends of the family tell KOB that Jennifer Riordan was the passenger transported to a Philadelphia hospital. Riordan later died from her injuries. The New Mexico Broadcasters Association also confirmed Riordan died in the accident.

The pilot was one of the first female fighter pilots in the Navy.

I read that she was half out to the window too, but that's hard for me to believe unless it was a child. Those windows aren't that big. Maybe 9" or 10" wide and maybe 14" or 16" high? Can't be much bigger than that. I know I'd never get my shoulders through one.
I hope it's not true, because that would have been terrifying. I wonder how quick you lose consciousness at 32,500' from hypoxia ...
If she was really half out of the window, the person in the seat directly behind her is going to need psychological help.

frick. I can’t imgaine that scene if true she was hanging half out the window.

What if she had had an infant on her lap? Instant freezing and suffocation? Defrost as you fall, dead, and splat? Jesus.

Poor lady.
The trauma of being sucked out, 500 mph winds pummeling your body, no oxygen for minutes, negative 30 degrees, and the decrease in pressure.
She didn't have a chance.

I don't know how hard that pressure is, but there aint no damn way a normal sized adult (by normal I don't mean 170 lb avg american just 100+) fits through a 737 window. I just don't see that.
Who knows though. Crazy. What the hell were the middle and aisle passenger doing to allow her to go out the damn window though?
