Chill homie....think of all the motoring fatalities as you read this. Its staggering how safe air travel is. This is a very rare event especially compared to all the flights going on around just the US today.
Agree with what you're saying, but there's an assload more cars on the road than planes in the air. And when planes go bad, they typically go really, REALLY bad. This particular instance not withstanding.

Also, a fricking engine blew the frick up and it still made a smooth landing.
It is pretty impressive.

probably not, maybe a free round trip anywhere in the WN system and a years supply of peanuts

That might possibly be one of the scariest things that could possibly happen

Some data:
quote:
Data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration shows that in 2015, there were 32,166 fatal motor vehicle accidents that lead to just over 35,000 deaths. That comes out to be 1.13 fatalities per 100 million vehicle miles traveled, and nearly 11 people for every 100,000 U.S. residents.
quote:
In 2015, preliminary statistics revealed a total of 27 total accidents — zero of which was fatal. Of the accidents that did occur, just 0.155 happened for every 100,000 flight hours. Airline accidents per one million miles flown came in at a rate of 0.0035.
And that flight data is accidents, not fatalities (as there were none in that timeframe).

Don't think people would be videoing while something like this is going on with the plane.

Only if the seat belt failed to hold her down in her seat, no way the seat belt sign was off yet.

They were at 32,500 feet. There’s a good chance the seat belt light was off.

Getting sucked out of a Southwest plane and dying would be merciful. God damn steerage in the sky.

That’s an entirely different kind of flying, altogether.

A blown engine is a happy engine.

I know they run those turbines through very violent failure tests to make sure they dont spit chunks out at the plane. Would like to see some detailed pictures of the engine
I'm guessing someone at SWA has been blowing off inspections and pencil whipping that stuff.

Probably. Still hard to believe that the compressor housing let go. I was always under the impression that those were practically bomb proof from the inside. This one is totally fricked. It looks like someone went after it with a sawsall

Yeah I'm being serious. Other airlines aren't experiencing exploding engine problems.

Pictures taken from the plane and posted online made it appear that part of the engine had blown apart, but Southwest spokesman Chris Mainz said there was no explosion. He said Southwest will work with investigators from the National Transportation Safety Board to determine the cause.

It’s rare for Southwest or any other major airline to have such serious engine trouble, said Michael Boyd, president of airline consulting firm Boyd International.

It’s a one-off, almost unheard of,” Boyd said Saturday. “Southwest has an outstanding safety record because it spends a lot of money on maintenance.”

By this logic space travel could be considered safer than driving. Now figure it out on a per trip basis. But I agree flying is very safe.

Yea b/c I know if a plane engine blew and a woman was getting sucked out a window the first thing I'd do is pull out my phone to film it.

Again, I get it. But then the following year, I believe, there were three major losses of planes/passengers in a three or four month span. I'm not sure what they count as an accident with a plane, but sounds like there are some fluff numbers in there.
Bottom line, when something starts going wrong in the air, it's totally outta your control 100% of the time.
