Here's what I appreciate most about you, MrBallen: You convey human stories with empathy, and respect for the people involved. You're not the typical greedy-eyed, money-grubbing sociopath with a serious case of terminal schadenfreude. You honor these people's stories. Thank you.
Yeah some come off as sadistic when they tell these stories. Even the news has a way of reporting these things with fake empathy but he genuinely talks about it like he knew the people involved personally.
I' m a little confused right now....
I knew, that a few german words (like Kindergarten for example) are adapted in the english language. But "Schadenfreude"? Really?
I'm seriously asking if there's no word in english for it?
And - by the way- what does it tell about us germans (scratch my head)
Bc. "Schadenfreude" is the worst type of joy someone could have..🙄
@@peshadowbird7320 I used the German because there's really nothing similar in English. I'm not particularly well-read or anything, I learned the word from Avenue Q. I think sometimes, schadenfreude has a place, even a healing quality. When appropriate, of course.
@@jeffstreck Epicaricacy - EPICARICACY, noun:
Deriving pleasure from the misfortunes of others.

She didn’t want to bother people so she switched seats. Hollie’s consideration of others literally saved her life.
In another perspective her consideration of others got someone killed. Two kinds of people lol
Man that was a spoiler seeing this before I even heard the beginning of the video.
@@tiffanytaylor6593 that's why you should avoid comments until the end
@@cornbreadjr.2728 Or don't post this shit
I'm going to guess Hollie's survival of a tough childhood saved her.
Sobbing. Especially when Holly put her hand on Jennifer's back and the lady put her hand on Holly's back. And the two men pulling her in, risking their own safety. This is humanity at its finest. RIP Jennifer.
That part made me tear up too. Reminds me that there are still good humans out there. .Its more rare than people think
Same 🥺
Same here. It was so incredibly tragic and also showed a beautiful human moment ❤️
Almost got me when the two men risked their own safety to pull her out, knowing she could already be dead and they could be next.
Theres a song thats goes something like:"immmm high as kkiiiitte annd feeelingg sooo grreeeaaat"
Nice job. Jennifer was a dear friend of mine. Our kids went to school together and we sat on a board of directors together for a number of years. Jennifer had the biggest heart, the brightest smile and she touched the hearts of everyone she met. Her loss was very hard on our community here in Albuquerque. Thank you for sharing both her and Hollie's stories. An interesting piece of information that also gets overlooked is that because Jennifer's seatbelt held her in place it potentially saved the life of the middle passenger as well as allowed Jennifer's family to lay her body to rest and say goodbye.
Truly a contagious smile if ever I saw one! No one could smile like that unless they had a beautiful, happy soul.
Also, those are really interesting things you pointed out - thanks for sharing xx
Hi. I thought that as I listened and was going to say thank God there wasn't a family with 2 kids there....
God truly had a hand in Hollie’s role of this sad event.
@@hj_muaheatherjane8795 jennifers too. what a guy eh
So sorry for your loss. It must feel surreal to come across this story in the media and online. Keep her smile in your heart. 🕊❤️
Massive respect to the pilot, she saved hundreds of lives and safely landed a broken plane. Think how terrified she must have been but she kept her composure like a boss ❤️👏👏👏👏👏
@psychoticpebbles ???? That's an idiotic sexist take. Lmao.
@Psychoticpebbles What a childish comment
How the fuck would a man have stopped an engine from exploding?? We're all sick of men commenting pathetic shit like this, say you're moronic and move on
@@tj5579 ironic
@@1klegit How so?
I knew Jennifer Riodern well. One of her sons was on my baseball team, and we still see each other every day . She was a great lady, and she always gave us drinks and snacks after a game. Thank you for being so empathetic and understanding with this story
😢❤️🙏🏼
🙏🏾🙏🏾❤️❤️
God rest her soul 🙏🏼🦋
I'm so sorry for your loss. Jennifer sounds like an amazing person. I'm glad you still see her son every day. He needs good friends like you.
🧢
Let’s not forget to give props to the pilot who was able to land that plane safely . Holly was so heroic and thank God she saved the young girl . I cried like a baby when you said they touched each other’s backs … such a beautiful thing that occurred in that horrific situation
I cried at the same point. It's the human compassion that we all hope to have and share with others.
This one was truly heartbreaking. When he said that they put their hands on each other to say "you're not alone; we may not be able to do anything but you are not alone", it made me cry, too. What a beautiful moment of the human experience in the middle of such a terrible tragedy 💜.
"props"...... To a plane pilot 😂
Were you being punny?
Exactly, what a pro pilot! Rip to Jennifer.. what a horrible way to die..
Yeah, thats where I lost it also....
Strangely, and fortunate enough... that cup of coffee saved Holly's life. Love and respect to Jennifer's family.
my doctor always said that too much coffee would be unhealthy. I guess he lied to me.
I guess she did not need to pee any longer after the engine got blown off ;)
It wasn’t the coffee but more so her consideration of others. She could’ve totally picked the window seat and just requested those next to her move so she can use the bathroom but she moved seats as not to bother any other passengers by going back and forth
@@tierrajohnston9659 Great point. She basically lived because she's a good person. It's just sad another good person died as a result. I hope Holly doesn't have too much survivor's guilt. Jennifer doesn't seem like she's the kind of person who would want Holly to feel that way either way. Just tragic in every way. And that poor little girl who witnessed the whole thing is scarred for life as well. Just awful.
best coffee ad ever
I’m so sorry for the horrific loss of Jennifer. I can’t imagine how scary that must have been. Thank goodness for people like Hollie, the gentleman that recovered her body, and the woman who initiated CPR.
I was glad to hear she died of blunt force trauma and not suffocation or ruptured organs. She didn't seem to have suffered much or had to see her death coming which is definitely worse than the actual death in a lot of these sorta cawes
I read Jennifer had a husband and two children and she was on her way back home to Albuquerque. She was a wonderful person. May Jennifer rest in peace. My condolences to her family.
Yes I live in Albuquerque and that’s what our local news was saying
This my second time seeing something regarding Albuquerque on Mr. Ballen’s Channel. It’s getting too close to home.
Omg that's awful poor Jennifer and her family
May she rest in peace not piece my friend those two words have very different meaning
Jesus loves you
I just want to say good job to the two gentlemen that risked their lives to get Jennifer out of the window.
god, when people started putting their hands on jennifer's back... the tears just started immediately
God*
@@dommm3431🙄
Hearing the part about Holly putting her hand on Jennifer's back to let her know she wasn't alone and then the lady in row 15 reaching over and doing the same thing made me burst into tears. I'm glad she wasn't alone when she passed away. No one deserves to die alone
Me too, but when you get to the end of his video you realised that she was already dead at that point. Still a lovely thing for them to do.
Unfortunately she probably died instantly…
@@brotherkhrayn3525 Yeah, I was worried this would be the case, and I definitely think it was. But she still wasn't alone and I really hope she knew that in someway somehow.
I can't help but visualize what Holly was seeing, and what she was experiencing. At the same time, I can't even imagine how she was feeling or what she was seeing. But I do hope, for Jennifer's sake especially, but also for Holly, that this was a very quick, or better yet, instantaneous death. Otherwise, it's almost to upsetting to imagine. Being in a situation where you're utterly helpless like that.... I don't know how you ever recover. As horrifying as Jennifer's experience was, in many ways, I feel worse for Holly. Jennifer may not have even known what happened, God willing. But Holly... She had to watch, hear, feel every second of it. Devastating, all the way around.
@@amyfrancis9368 😪🤧💜💙
I feel so terrible for everybody involved, Holly and Jennifer especially of course, but also that poor pre-teen girl. That must have been so incredibly traumatic at such a young age.
she'll probably never wanna fly again..
She probably never looked up from her phone.
What a scary thing to go through this is one of my worst fears which is why I could never work on an aircraft. Too scary.
that incident is enough for her to get PTSD
@@MargaritaMagdalena exactly! when my school exploded i was the only survivor. i lost all my limbs and have to spend the remainder of my life in a hospital but i refuse to be the victim! i don't even need therapy.
The fact that Hollie's Iced Coffee saved her from a life taking experience... but may jennifer's soul rest in peace :(
Hopefully she was drinking Dunkin’
Many years ago a friend of my told me about his fathers experience. One day his dad had this excruciating stomachache just before his flight, he left the gate and went to the toilet. Hearing the announce of final boarding, he just couldn't leave the toilet. Finally after he got better, he went to the service counter to get a new flight, but then was told that the flight he missed had just crashed. Sorry for the tremendous loss of all the families out there, but boy he was lucky.
damn he must have used all his luck
Rectum? It pretty much saved him!
the one time gas station sushi saved a life
Sounds like he was shit in luck!
@@gigabrother458you made my day. Well played!
I knew Jennifer Riordan personally. We worked closely for 5 year in Citibank in Albuquerque NM. She was a very sweet person. It was so sad to here about what happened. It really affected the community. Jennifer left small kids and a great husband. I pray for the family.
If I were her I'd be asking for tons of $$$ 🤔
@@-Nathan87- She died…
I’m sorry for ur loss
What’s sad is b4 mr ballet said she was dead I was just about to pray for her and hope she was oke
@Evgfry he can say whatever he wants its a free youtube 🇺🇸
Jennifer was my good friend's boss. From all accounts she was a truly kind and compassionate person. Her loss was devastating not only to her friends and family but to the whole of the Albuquerque community. She was a good one lost way too soon. May her memory forever be a blessing to those that loved her.
Give your friend our condolences. She was a beautiful lady.
Forever in our memories too after this story, may she Rest In Peace 🖤
So sorry for your loss and the people whose lives she touched. RIP Jennifer with the beautiful smile.
I'm just glad I don't see anyone saying stuff like "I don't believe you, fck u" and everyone's just being respectful instead. 😁
We all know your lying for attention
My family knew Jennifer in Albuquerque, NM. This was such a shocking event, and I still think about her every time I get on a flight.
Catching up on all your videos and just came to express the sadness of what happened. Also wanted to point out that the captain of that flight was one of the first female fighter pilots in the Navy and she did an incredible job to land that plane safely basically without an engine and prevented further fatalities. She went on to write a book called “Nerves of steel” by Tammie Jo Shultz if anyone is interested. And even though she’s retired from SWA, she still flies jets for a charity called Angel flights where they transport people in need of distant medical treatment.
thanks for sharing this added tidbit of info.. 😢

@@pighunter6239 thanks
Rest In Peace to Jennifer, that is just wild. Secondly, for Miss Holly that survivors guilt I know she felt had to have been pure agony. Not to mention that teenage girl in the middle along with that whole flight of people and crew.
I applaud everyone, staff, and that pilot for doing what they needed to do. Gosh how awful… I can’t imagine Jennifer’s thoughts as she’s sucked out of a window knowing that’s the end, but had the comfort of hands on her back.
I’ll end with this… don’t wait for disaster to extend kindness.
😢💕
Thank you for leaving your emotion in the video and not doing a re-take. Your eyes are getting a shine to them (as were mine listening to the story). It is appreciated.
I am a flight attendant for SWA and I have heard the details of this tragedy from many angles (including the cockpit voice recorder, FAA investigation findings and pilots who have broken it down moment by moment) but you have humanized the horror like no one else ever has.
He’s brilliant and he never forgets the people and the emotions when he shares these stories
My sister is also a flight attendant. Bless your heart for being so patient. I've heard stories from her on how absolutely ruthless and beyond rude passengers are.... flight attendants are people too (with actual human feelings), and that seems to fly out the window when they are in the air. Literally, they don't know how to be a civilized human any longer. A quote that comes to mind "humans have evolved over billions of years, act like it" when I think of these absent minded idiots

Dont worry, as long as you follow the rules of the pandemic, you will be fine ;)
Jennifer Riordan was from my hometown of Albuquerque, NM.
She was involved in our community and is missed by so many.
This is truly just a heart breaking case, but heart warming to hear the humanity in those passengers. Thank you, Mr. Ballen
Poor Holly. The level of Survivor's Guilt she must feel... She has every ounce of my sympathy.
?
@@SolNotFound took one for the team and it's a random roadrunner episode
@@jaybudz1620 he must have deleted the comments but he had posted that "Jennifer's death was like something out Looney Tunes." [Though it was less coherent] And another comment that said "splat". I guess that was an attempt at a joke but it really doesn't make sense, and even if it did, it probably would still not be funny
Oo
@@fritofloyd quite horrific fail ngl
Can we just talk about how Holly's first reaction when we couldn't get her mask on was to check on her fellow passengers? Then as soon as she realized what happened the first thing she did was pull that girl that had been ignoring them close and protect her? Holly seems like such a kind soul.
I hope survivor's guilt didn't affect her too strongly. After all, she had first picked the window seat on which Jennifer died, but moved to isle seat before anyone else took a seat on her row.
I wouldn't say ignoring but more minding her own business. From this story it seems the only conversation she had with the other passenger was that she needed to go to the bathroom.
So she claims. She could have been tending to herself for the first 5 mins, we wouldn't know. Jennifer is not able to give the other side of the story.
@@lilsaint91 ……..either way the reaction was as immediate as possible. She was in shock you make it sound like she was being selfish. Jennifer was dead the second it happened with the window bursting Holly did more than she could have.
You obviously never had to REALLY take a piss. People could get run over by a bus and you just couldn’t care less. She has to pee dawg lol
Wonderful how strangers were so respectful and compassionate towards Jennifer and also the lady in row 15 towards Holly. Kudos to the flight crew for landing the plane safely.
Mr ballen doesn’t just tell these stories leaving no detail out. He literally acts out what happens with hand gestures. The best story teller I ever stumbled upon on RUclips ❤
Can we talk about how beautiful her smile is. She looks like she was such a sweet and caring soul. She didn't deserve this cruel fate.
I was thinking the same thing :(
People die everyday, most people don't deserve it, but that's how this cruel world works. We have to accept that bad things happen to good people, we just have to make the most of what time we have. Hopefully what time she was alive was amazing. Much love✌️
Thats proof there is no god, or at least one that cares.

That's why Billy Joel has his song "Only the Good Die Young". Since this was released a few yrs before I was born I grew up listening to it and oh boy was I the child, and esp teen, from hell.
She didn't want to bother anyone so she switched seats which ended up saving her life. Her premonition of something bad was going to happen made me think of all the times I had a bad feeling about something and chose to do something else. That's why I always listen to my inner feelings, you never know what could happen.
Your gut never lies.
Intuition....never ignore your gut
Listening to your inner feelings, the, Gut feeling instinct, hardly ever fails…..
Well. One need to find a balance.
Because, one CAN get a little paranoid, thinking everything is a sign from the gut. I mean, i know someone who is very into " listening to gut" . She is way over top, and it get stressful. She have gotten selfabsorbed and blunt ,and forget to take any other considerations ,at all.
The "gut feeling"/ instinct is important, but always have a balance .
Hi from Norway 🇧🇻
It was the coffee 😢
wow, can't even imagine the feeling of knowing you were just sitting there and gave up the seat to go to the bathroom easier
Mr. Ballen, this episode almost brought me to my knees. My heart is aching for Jennifer and her family. I also fly southwest airlines. My last flight I had an eerie feeling and I haven't been on a plane since then.
That small gesture of Holly placing her hand on Jennifer's back to comfort her (even though she was probably already gone) was both beautiful and heart breaking
Strangers placing hands on Jennifer’s back so she knew she was not alone…. Kindness of the most sweetest people! Comforting the only way they could- so brilliant. 💕💕💕
This whole story is comforting to me, not to be morbid. I’m a loyal Southwest Airlines customer, but Final Destination scarred me for life before I ever flew anywhere.
What I read about this incident gave me the impression the window cracked and broke and flew inward, cutting Jennifer who tragically died of blood loss.
I don’t understand the physics of vacuums, apparently.
I’ve been on many flights where the acrylic window panels have cracks that appear to worsen or even make a loud crack sound in flight.
Luckily I’ve never been on a flight that had an engine blow out, and i am glad that’s what it took to really break a window.
I hope I don’t sound completely horrible for saying this. 🤷🏻♀️
I’ve always been an aisle sitter at the front of the plane. It’s due to the of ease of deplaning, but now It seems like an extra good idea.
Southwest is still my go to for their pretty stellar safety record even though I feel sorry for what happened to Jennifer.
Lol
Sadly i think Jennifer was long dead by the time they did that.
@@frakismaximus3052 She likely was killed instantly, that's comforting to me.
🤧😪
I frequently listen to this channel. And this is the 1st time I teared up. As someone previously said, the way the story was told I can feel myself in the plane with them and I see everything with them. An amazing storyteller. My heart goes out to those 3 ladies that went through this. Jennifer, God-bless you. Holly and the girl I hope you guys are doing well.
Holly’s politeness and respect for other people saved her life.
I witnessed a motorcycle accident one day, it was weird because I was getting held up by my buddy that day, and left his place, and went back to where he was minutes later because he needed jumpstarted, then finally went on my way and I took a different route than I normally do, because the light turned red 🤷🏼♂️ so I just went right, and I'm driving up the road when all the sudden there's a biker, and a car in the middle lane, racing, and the biker looks over, loses grip and speed-wobbles making his bike hit the curb, and he literally flew head first into a telephone pole... Right in front of me. It was in front of our local hospital (even more ironic) and a nurse ran up, right after me, telling me to hold his head, and so I'm looking in his eyes, and it's just blank, but his pupils are still dilated to the light, so I just started telling him I was there and he was gonna be good. He lived just long enough that night for his mom to call him and say goodbye to him. I'm still friends with his mom. It still really messes me up. Sometimes all you can do is love.
TLDr.....cool story tho👌🏾
Oh honey I’m in tears. That’s quite traumatic for you, I’m so sorry but you gave that person comfort. You’re a hero! ..to him and his mother!!♥️

Right!!!! I’m too into the story.

This video was one of the First of Mr Ballen’s that I saw, and it made me feel like I was experiencing it all as if I was there myself. Even watching this again and knowing what happens still brings back the memory and the feelings I had watching it for the first time. Hollie, the Captain and those two men are real heroes for what they did to help the situation. The world needs more people like these 💙
Same here
This was certainly a tragic story! I remember thinking at the time, "How do you get sucked out of a window?" You clarified my questions and gave me a good reason to know what these people were going through. Good report! Thank you.
Hollie thinking about others and being considerate saved her life. So sad that Jennifer lost her life 😞
That’s what I said, it’s so crazy how a simple action can change whatever happens to you by SO much :(
😔
ruclips.net/video/dDehezwx9ZI/видео.html
It's amazing how sometimes what are simple decisions we make can end up literally being a life or death situation. If she didn't drink that big coffee before the flight she definitely would have been sitting by the window. I'm sure this is something she thinks about everyday. I know I would.
@@TheOfficialTarynTots crazy, isn’t it? What you just said reminds me of the movie “The Butterfly Effect”

So sorry for your loss. May they both rest in peace

@@TheMattboudreau thats rude-
I've watched almost all your videos from this channel, but the ending to this story is just phenomenal. Like a full circle. It's one of those stories where there's clearly some higher force playing a role on guiding our decisions. It really wasn't her turn to die.
I'm Ex 82nd Airborne and appreciate the utter hell u went thru as a Seal much respect. Thats whT brought me 2 ur channel your excellent story telling Tone, cadence and keep u on the edge of ur seat pauses and truth made me a lifelong Mr. Ballen subscriber. Thank u!
Hoooah!
Although this has a very sad ending, it’s super comforting knowing what Holly and those two men did for Jennifer. Risking one’s life for a complete stranger is as heroic as it comes and truly a thing of beauty. God bless
I can’t imagine what that poor teen girl went through also, no one is really speaking on her part of what happened. I’m sure she was extremely traumatized as well. Holly saved her life for sure! And those 2 men who volunteered to get Jennifer out of the window, absolutely heroes! So sad they couldn’t save her.
Legend has it her head is still buried in the phone.
Considering the social anxiety and resulting lack of connection using your phone as a shield demonstrates, I'm going to guess not well. Maybe she understands now it's only capable of protecting her from conversation and has laid it down to rest more often. No one likes the awkward exchanges inherent in herding through the cattle gates. Except ignoring each other's existence is more damaging than assessing it.
Imagine seeing a comment about a teenager living through a horrifically traumatic experience that will likely affect her for the rest of her life, and deciding to reply "WeLl MaYbE sHe ShOuLdNt HaVe BeEn On HeR pHoNe". And because of what, a passing comment that she _was_ on her phone when something happened that was completely out of her control?? News flash; most people, _especially_ young people, aren't going to try making conversation with complete strangers on an airplane! If you were capable of pulling your head out of your rear end for five seconds, maybe you would understand how incredibly insensitive you're being. I'd call you people clowns, but clowns are at least kind to children, you absolute inbred gargoyles.
@@frostedfirefly Thank you for saying this! I completely agree! These people are clowns 🤡

This is the only story of yours that has ever made me cry. I felt like i was there. The fact that the women layer a hand to comfort Jennifer was heartbreaking.

Well…Hollie lived. And the child.
The survivors guilt Hollie must have after this is completely undeserved, she acted out of kindness and consideration.
and when the situation became dire she stood her ground and showed strength in trying to save the lives of two others in clear disregard of her own.
She has earned my respect and i hope the respect of everyone who hears her story.

I remember this even so vividly, like it was just yesterday.
I was traveling to visit family in PA for comfort after the passing of my sweet pup of 14yrs, when on my drive to the Philadelphia airport, to catch my return flight, I ended up stuck in traffic. Well, this was an eery situation since I was on track to arrive with ample time to stroll through the check-in and make it to my gate. As I was on the highway I noticed an intense tie up of traffic, figured something was occurring on the roadway. As I proceeded to take the next exit law enforcement has instructed all vehicles traveling that stretch of highway to take I heard a loud sound coming from the sky. As I looked up I could see the plane coming down. It seemed about right they had to clear the highway just in case the plane did not make the runway. Thankfully it did make the runway, although it wasn’t until shortly thereafter that I overheard people discussing how a lady was sucked out of the plane while in flight. Of course trying to catch more details of this event, specifically about the passenger, were a challenge as most news channels did not seem to cover beyond the general occurrence itself.
Looking back I still feel a sense of sadness that was felt throughout that air that day. Oh I pray Jennifer is resting in peace. 🙏🏼♥️
shouldn't curse, nor lie, nor use The Lords name in vain by saying things like, "oh my God" and you shouldn't say things like "God damn" or "on God" Jesus loves u all. Jesus Christ died for your sins on the cross. Believe that Jesus died on the cross for your sins so you can have eternal life or you will be separated from God The Father for all eternity and face hell forever, for all eternity, never ending. start reading your Bible if you don't have one download the app. no exuses. start with John than Mark than Mathew than Luke. if you've read this message you now have no excuse on the Day of Judgement, you have been warned. ✝️ may God bless you…
This brought back memories of the BA flight in which the pilot was sucked out of the plane. Horrific, horrific accident because the aircraft’s engineer had used the wrong sized screws when replacing the plane’s wind screen. May we’ll hear it on Mr. Ballen’s channel one day.
That pilot survived.
Man this was horrific. That poor woman. Sounds like a lovely person. 🙏

Never would I have thought I could sit through and listen to someone just tell a story for more than 8 minutes. Here I am at tears listening to this. This guy has a special way of yelling stories!
Yeah, it's called the meandering narration.
I'm the same way yet I have become addicted to this guy's channel. He has the craziest stories and best narration.
In a plane I never sit near the window because of this
Same if someone was telling me a story in person I wouldn’t be able to just sit there and listen , I would get distracted and bored for sure
He tells these stories the way he does in order to provide enough environmental description and character development that you can understand, relate and care. It's an art form, because when people cannot do this they fail as authors, writers, film and TV directors, etc.
So easy to listen to you story tell. You’re so descriptive, it’s easy to visualize what you are talking about, almost as clear as watching a movie. You are very good at your job and I can see why you have been so successful. God Bless.
You are an amazing story teller. You went into so much detail I felt I was actually there on the plane. I used to love sitting next to the window but glad I don't fly anymore! This is the most horrifying story hopefully & I'm sure Jennifer was instantly passed out & felt no pain. Healing Prayers to Jennifer's family & friends & all who were affected on the plane especially those who tried to help Jennifer. 😥🙏♥️
I recall hearing about this story when it happened and thinking about how terrifying the entire situation would be for the women in that row. Hearing it from MrBallen I'm struck by the heart-wrenching sadness for them. MrBallen is better at these stories than any news coverage I've ever seen.
Couldn't agree more
Yup, because he cares, unlike "professional" journalists.
I remember the incident as well. The victim was going home to Albuquerque, she was an executive at Wells Fargo Bank. Being a native, that fact alone is what stood out to me when this happened.
As far as flying, my father was a retired Colonel in the USAF and flying in planes was natural in my world. I'm still not afraid to fly, I'm just sick of the gestapo TSA crap. Therefore, I drive.
Tbh if i felt like being sucked out of a plane window from my seat ill probably just breathe in and out uncontrollably
That's a really low bar to set against our friend here.
My mother is friends with Hollie. We both know Hollie personally and I was friends with her children when I was young. Hollie, to this day, still suffers from the trauma about this event. I remember her telling this story and her bravery and kindness was and still is unforgettable to me. This all shows that Jennifer's death had a profound impact on not just Hollie, but those who knew her. RIP, Jennifer, and stay strong, Hollie
I know the preteen in the middle is very thankful for her hollies selflessness by grabbing her as well
Just shows you never know when it's going to be your turn to die. I can guarantee Jennifer had absolutely *no* *idea* she was going to die that day. I keep remembering that interview with the Fast & Furious guy someone did as he was checking in to fly to that car race where he died...not a clue he was going to die the next day.
I still can't believe Jennifer left us this way. I pray for her husband and kids. From another burqueña.
@@bettywith2girls

You did well with this story. May Ms. Jennifer rest in peace and her family have comfort from her passing. May love and light from the Universe bless Holly and all who assisted Jennifer during this traumatic event.
You Def have a great way of translating these facts into such a moving story Mr B, thank you for the hard work you do
Theres a similar story to this about Captain Tim Lancaster where he was sucked out of the airplane but his crew mate caught his legs thinking he was dead and wanted to keep his body to bury but miraculously he survived!
Yup

@@10thoupiece28 yes it was investigated in that story and turned out to be a faulty window repair!
Absolutely heartbreaking. I can’t imagine the lasting trauma this had on Holly and the other passengers. Those men who pulled her from the window are incredibly brave. I pray that death came instantly for Jennifer and she didn’t suffer in fear and pain. Rest In Peace Jennifer 💔
I think Holly and the men are heroes even if Jennifer sadly didn't survive, they did everything they could even risking their own lives.
@@teijaflink2226 it's not think it's TRUE🙏
I like to think she went unconscious before she even was actually out, because the thought of a mother being aware of this is too heartbreaking ❤️🩹
I got so sad when I heard that Jennifer died

Wow. I heard about this after it happened but you really just have a way of telling the story with so much compassion and empathy. That poor woman. 😢 Thank you Mr Ballen for always telling stories in such a respectful and amazing way.
I love the way you shared this story with such compassion. God bless Jennifer, her family and Holly and all of the passengers.
I laughed out loud when you told how to share the like button.That was a good one!
That poor lady. I'm obsessed with plane emergency/disaster stories, and if there's one thing I've taken away from all those events is always keep your seatbelt on when sitting in your seat, even when the pilot turns off the sign. That simple precaution saves a shocking number of lives.
yep i agree in alskan plane american closets basments and attics to seem have fair share worlds deemons icayon partualy bells canyon forests
I always do.
Agreed. Seat belt on and BRACE BRACE BRACE. I watch Mentour Pilot and 74 Gear with Pilot Kelsey as well as all the Mayday episodes and I swear I am more confident about flying having done so. I am a fearful flier but seeing how extraordinarily rare airplane accidents are, and how many things must go wrong for fatalities to occur, my fear has lessened considerably.
Exactly. Most of the time we take it lightly and dont even listen to air hostess instructions and think we have seen that demonstration dozen times and blah blah.

i’m just glad that she died from blunt force trauma and didn’t have to experience suffocating. it’s likely that she didn’t feel anything. rest in peace jennifer
And watching the earth below from a scary height with the engine burning wondering if she’ll be hit by any pieces of the broken plane
Yeah no, I rather not be alive till I hit the floor thanks.

I found this channel couple of weeks ago and I am totally addicted to it. Like I am talking about I get off work at 5 and watch videos till 12 am every single day lol. I think that’s not normal, but mr.ballen you a rock star I even started talking in the same way and details as you loool thank you for sharing peoples stories respectfully and with empathy. This something we lack often on the internet
MrBallen’s stories helps me go through 8 hours of boredom at work! This soldier is a life save!
I honestly teared up when you said that Hollie put her hand on Jennifer's back and then someone put their hand on Hollie. That was a very powerful moment. I really hope that she didn't suffer at all. R.i.p.

I was doing my make up while watching this and I just reales I literally imagined this perfectly in my mind
Not to mention the added sound effects 😳😖
It is true. Not only that but he knows exactly what is going on in the mind of the victim in his or hers final mortal moments. It is truly amazing that he is able to know such things.
Give credit to your ability to empathize and comprehend also. It takes two.
@Simping for fictional characters haven’t you ever done that reading a book?
I can’t even imagine the survivors guilt she felt for changing her mind on where she was going to sit last minute. 😔 What a crazy accident. Such a shame.
Wow. The emotions in this one are just incredible. I went from terrified to crying in an instant.
My eyes welled up when you said Holly placed her hand on Jennifer’s back. What an insane story.
I'm reeling. I chose THIS to unwind on a Friday?!? I'm imploding over here.
Right? I imagined the deafening sound of the wind going quiet at that moment where she tries to comfort Jennifer.

You're a great storyteller from beginning to end. I feel so sorry that this happened to that woman.
I am overwhelmed by the heroic acts of everyone involved, it makes you realize that most people truly are good and caring.
I am sure that everyone involved was (is) traumatized beyond belief. I hope that they all get the help and support that they need to deal with the horrible tragedy. I am especially so worried about the young girl in the middle. She was flying by herself. It must have been beyond imaginable for her. I see that many people here have posted that they knew people involved with this. Does anyone know about the young girl?
I remember when when this happen. The pilot was a Navy pilot a female pilot with 32 yrs of experience. I heard the recordings from the cockpit and she sounded cool as a cucumber when she talked to the control tower. She said the engine exploded the airplane was rolling to the side but she had gain control and she needed to land the plane. My respects for this woman. She has nerves of steel !

I've heard most of these stories before but the way you structure the stories is better than any other
Bro you do an absolute incredible job storytelling and some of them are very very difficult I understand but you handle them with Wonderful Grace
The woman died instantly. If it wasn’t instantly then extremely quickly. Doubt suffering was an issue. Probably blacked out from the blunt force and the vacuum effect!
I agree. She would have almost immediately fainted or blacked out, at the very least. It's surprising that, after the 2 guys were able to pull that poor woman out of that window, that they left it open....would have made more sense if they then put an oversized bag or oversized anything over the broken window to prevent someone else being sucked out and to keep the air inside. Maybe Mr. Badden left that part out of the story.
@@bettywith2girls I would think that anything they tried to place even close to the hole would be sucked out immediately, including the person(s) trying to place anything there.
That's why it was so important for the two men who pulled Jennifer back in to quickly get out of the row.
A friend of mine was a flight attendant, and they are trained specifically in disaster preparedness, so if there was a protocol for covering the hole, I'm sure that they would have tried to do so.
God I hope so.
@@bettywith2girls 😭
@@orcasgirl1 Whenever cabin pressure is lost the pilot will immediately begin to drop altitude to get to a level where it is safe to fly without cabin pressure... If it had been 10 minutes they were probably already low enough that there wasn't enough pressure difference to hold her in the window, or to pull someone else out...
Poor Jennifer... This whole time I was like, come on say it, they saved her, I knew they couldn't, but was still hoping... Rest easy Jennifer...
And props to the Pilot, She saved a lot of lives...
Same I was hoping she made it. 😭❤ everyone was so heroic though.

How sad. Bless Holly's heart for trying to save Jennifer, also the 2 men. May Jennifer Rest in Peace.
Hey can someone explain to me the twist in the ending? I’m super confused, like he just repeated what he said earlier. I don’t understand.
@@granthoover9045 Holly had originally planned on sitting in the window seat but switched last second to aisle, saving her life but leaving that seat for Jennifer
Strictly speaking you don’t get sucked out a plane! You get pushed out! As the pressure is within the plane and when a window breaks, it’s the internal air forcing it’s way outwards!
Out of every story I’ve heard and I’m on day 6 of nonstop watching videos of mr. Ballen this one made me cry. The point when they put their hands on her back just hoping she’d feel not alone just made me bawl. Every one of us knows at some pint our time will come and whether it’s peaceful and calm when we go or terrifying and heartbreaking we all would want someone there reassuring us it’s going to be ok even if we don’t make it so for these people to try and just let her know she wasn’t going to die alone is so touching. This out of every story you’ve told is the only one that made me cry. You told this story so eloquently and with such kindness it touched my heart. ♥️
Imagine slowly freezing to death outside a plane, feeling so alone and scared, and then someone puts their hand on the small of your back. You're not dying alone. Holy shit, that was a masterclass move, a simple act to make someone's final moments less scary. Wow, that moved me genuinely, then ANOTHER woman holds the woman who is holding the woman. This is a testimony to the fact that humanity still exists!
I'm sure it was instant, being sucked through that tiny window hole, at that force, knocked her unconscious, and fatal. At least one would hope it was instant and she didn't suffer.
Actually, she would probably have been knocked unconscious as she was dragged out the window & asphyxiated within 2-3 minutes without oxygen due to the combination of the vacuum effect & high altitude, so she wouldn’t have been freezing to death nor feeling alone or scared.
@@allisonjames2923 according to autopsy it was instant because of the forces, it essentially snapped her neck
Absolutely.
Love thy neighbour.
This story is an odd mix of wholesome and tragic at the same time. There's something to be said about this plane full of people just being absolutely silent while they tried to bring Jennifer back. Something about a tragedy in your midst snaps you into the present and makes you take stock of what is truly important.
It's like the story of United 93, where the passengers called their loved ones to say goodbye and then actively fought against the plane hijackers.
@@McSnezzly Is that the plane that crashed into the field in Pennsylvania? If it was those people went down heroes. I hope they knew that before it ended.
Aah this one hit hard. There was a terrible accident outside my flat a few days ago. It was almost awful enough to be on a episode of this. A lady died, with my hand on her back comforting her. When I saw the hand on the back in the video, it brought it all back. I'm trying to forget what I saw. I doubt I ever will. It's easy listening to these stories but when something happens in your own 'bubble' it's a different kettle of fish. It comes to something when your watching MrB to cheer you up! He does. 🙂🙏
Thank you to Mr Ballen for being very caring and compassionate telling this story.
This had to be extremely traumatic especially for Holly and also the girl in the middle seat.
Thanks to the cabin crew, the flight attendants, the men who bravely pulled Jennifer out of the window while risking their own lives and the nurse who tried to resuscitate Jennifer. Everyone tried to do the best that they could under such horrendous circumstances. If Kelly was terrified to ever fly again it’s not aerophobia with her it’s traumatizing memories.
I don’t fly often at all but this truly makes me rethink sitting in the window seat.
Hollie avoided dying there by being a good person, putting the comfort of others before her own and sitting in the aisle seat, when she knew she'll need to use the bathroom a lot. It's just terrible that this happened and someone had to be hit by it.
@zhehinanimDE that's a stretch. It's also very inconvenient for the person having to climb over other people.
I think Hollie is also an empath since she sensed that something bad was going to happen.
So one who died was not good enough! ? Jesus
This is such a weird thing to say. . . She didn't avoid dying by being a "good person". Saying so implies that maybe if the victim was a good enough of a person, she would be okay. And who's to say she's not?
@@22lyric yes, I am afraid I always take the aisle seat as I am likely to get up often.
The value of what Andrew and Tim did is indescribable. Because of them, she was able to be laid to rest in dignity. Imagine how much more awful it would have been for the family if her body had been left unrecognizable or lost out of the plane. Because of those guys Jennifer’s family were able see her looking like herself one last time.
To be honest at that point it probably didn't make much difference. The body quite simply couldn't fit through the window, and the vast majority of the damage would have been done in the initial minute or so. If you look up the pilot who was sucked partially out of the cockpit window and survived, you'll see that the part of him outside wasn't actually injured much (I think he had some nasty bruising from the edge of the window and controls his lower half were wedged against irrc)
That was my mother she was condensed to 3 ft tall.
She was left unrecognizable. The last who performed CPR on her said "Imagine hitting the fuselage at 600 mph. There was significant trauma". I'm pretty sure that they had to have a closed casket funeral.
That's the thing about death none of us know which way we'll pass from this life to the next.
She most likely had a spiritual feeling that her time was done from this life.
I remember this incident and it was just very heartbreaking. Kudos to that captain for recovering the flight and getting the rest of the crew to safety. You never know when it’s your time sadly~
That’s one of the Best and crazy stories. You’re a great story teller !
It’s crazy to think that drinking that cup of coffee that day saved Hollie’s life
Also her kindness and care for others.
That cup of coffee killed that poor other girl. Don't drink coffee, people will die.
