Sounds like she didn't.

Baw with a bass pro cap in the second row. The Yeti caps must have been in first class.

No telling when the last heavy maintenance check was made, I don't think they would go into the inner workings of the engine until a C or D check maybe every 4-5 years.
It is my understanding that a lot of the carriers lease the engines mostly from GE, who tracks engine parameters through satellite network connection. When major maintenance is required by schedule or data showing a potential problem they swap out the engine and the removed engine is then serviced by factory reps.

We offer short-term leases ranging up to one year, and operating leases up to a term of 20 years. We provide the largest and most diverse pool of spare engines in the marketplace."

A passenger died, we don't know if it was her. I'm guessing it was.

Where was there blood? The picture of the window doesn't show any blood.
Could have easily been a passenger that fell and hit their head or something that passed, not the passenger that was next to the window.

It was not immediately clear if the passenger who was killed was the woman who was reportedly "sucked out" of the window.

I’m just here to tell my own story
CLT to MSY in terrible weather, we hit bone jarring turbulence. Flight attendants sprinting down the aisle to get to their seats, etc. People freaking the frick out. Cell phones out everywhere taking video.
I guess we dropped a little and then bottomed out pretty hard, and the cabin started schreeching an ear piercing wail as we are still bouncing around pretty good.
Once things settled down and the screeching stopped 15 min later, the pilot came on to tell us that they were not sure what the sound was, we were flying fine, and drinks were free the rest of the flight

She could have been killed from the impact of her head striking something, or a tiny metal fragment causing injury to the brain or other critical area, would not necessarily require there be a noticeable wound or bleeding.

"The passenger who was sitting right next to the window that exploded was in critical condition covered in blood," said Matt Tranchin, who was sitting three rows behind her.
Another passenger, Eric Zilbert, said the woman was immediately given CPR by "several heroic gentlemen" who pulled her back through the window.
quote:
Robert Sumwalt with the National Transportation Safety Board said one passenger died as a result of the incident. It's not clear if it was the same woman. Philadelphia fire officials said seven other passengers were treated on the tarmac for minor injuries.
Pretty safe assumption it was the woman at the window.

If she got partially sucked out the window, i'd imagine her head is what was partially out, meaning her neck was around the glass that was broken, meaning could have cut her jugular, which is why blood was everywhere.
I also would think sticking your head out the window when you're going 400-500 mph isn't ideal. probably bounced against things like a pinball.

A Delta MD-88 had an uncontained engine failure at Pensacola Regional back in 1996, I think it was. Two passengers seated close to the engine were decapitated by shrapnel. The plane was repaired and re-entered service, and is still in Delta's active fleet.
It was a turbine disk failure which sent part of the disk w/ blades through both sides of the fuselage. A mom and her young son were in the path of the shrapnel and more than likely never knew what hit them. The passengers around them, however, were probably never the same after witnessing that.

How long can you survive with your head sticking out into air that's -70 degrees with a 500 mph wind?

1) I'm reevaluating where I sit
2) sounds like Southwest just lost their claim of never having a passenger death

My hands started sweating just reading that.

About Tree Fiddy?

Can’t pilots avoid most of the bad weather related turbulence? Seems like when I fly the pilot circumvent the bad storms and you can see them in the distance.

Looks like another failure of a CFM-56 engine's fan blades. Same thing happened back in 2016 to another 737 flying the same engine. Looks like there is a vibration/oscillation occurance in these engines on climb past 25,000 ft that initiates a fatigue failure in the outer sections of the fan blades, thus causing a catastrophic engine failure. Happened to an 737 in England years ago as well but that flight crew did not use the prescribed procedure and shut down the engine, and fubared the landing killing 47 people.
Flight crew in this instance sounds like they performed outstandingly and did all they could to minimize the situation from getting worse.
Looking at the flight path, time in air and altitude it looks like the fan blade let go just as they were getting near cruise altitude. CFM might want to look into their design/maintenance protocol on these engines...just sayin'
