Two pilots, not one. Both are running thru checklists, one takes communications and one flies the plane. Give credit but don't exclude first officers. They are just as important as the other pilot.
As a first officer for an airline myself I can safely say we are both equally important. The airplane can not be legally flown without both pilots nor is either pilot training to fly much without the other. Hence the term “crew.” And as far as pay, yes in most cases the captain has more experience than the first officer but the first officer is still fully qualified to fly the plane. All decisions still rest with the captain even though both pilots will work together to get the plane to safely.
Thanks for sharing your insights. Always miss-information when things like this happen. Tho based on your information both gaming and Lynda are wrong. There is two of almost everything on a plane, even pilots :)@Jay Brodsky
There's been many pilots in much worse situations. Aloha Airlines Flight 243 lost a huge section of the top of its fuselage. United Airlines Flight 811 had a cargo door blow out. United Airlines Flight 232 had an engine blow apart and pilots lost all hydraulics; a good number of passengers walked away from that crash landing in Sioux City. NTSB Accident Reports were part of my childhood reading material. My father was an FAA Inspector for 35 years.
for the Pilot to speak and to remain together as she did, she had to have reverted back to various experiences as a pilot during Her Military experiences (more tha likely hostal encounters)...Truly and Amazing Women in Her Abilities
Mike Hascats it doesn't happen often, it actually depends which flight you take and in which country, you can always take the window seat, accidents don't always happen.
Thanks for this. I'm in Albuquerque, my home town. The city is devastated by this. Incredibly painful. Everybody loved her. And kudos to the pilot. I'm still in shock.
Ok, you aren't good at estimating risk then. Do you stay inside your house all day or do you ride in cars? Commercial planes are much safer than travelling by car.
A passenger most certainly can be blown out a window. The cabin is pressurized to a barometric pressure of about 10,000ft. There is much less pressure outside when at 30,000. The volume of air in the cabin wants to go out that tiny little window all at once. Anything in its path is blown out. Explosive depressurization can tear a plane apart. See United Airlines Flight 811 (1989: 9 dead). Source: A retired FAA Inspector of 35 years.
so was the co pilot, who worked in europe and middle east in a modified Boeing 707 that tracked planes at any altitude, even ones that are hidden from ground radar, way more interesting than the captains story. There is always a first, and she just happened to be the one. I'm not trying to downplay her role or anything, I'm just saying they should say stuff about the co- pilot too. Until I searched who the co pilot was, I didn't see his name once in the DOZENS of articles I have read that covered the incident.
Did that women at 5:20 just say the plane had no hydraulics?? What?? Does she even know what hydraulics are? They had total control surface capability. The aircraft would not be on the ground safely without hydraulics. To lose all hydraulics is almost impossible as there are multiple backup hydraulic systems. In this case there wasn't even a hydraulic leak! This aside... Condolences to the deceased and affected families. *sigh*
I’m a SWA F/A and I’m not taking any praise away from the entire crew but that’s our job. Pilots and F/A’s are trained to deal with emergencies. The pilots are already flying again but I don’t think the F/A’s are. I know this is an awful experience and I don’t know how I would react but I think getting back on a plane would help. I’m proud of the entire crew but that’s what we’re there for.
A plane is (most of the time) flown by TWO pilots. They both did a great job! It irritates me when all the tribute goes to only one of the pilots. They couldn't do without each other. Actually, for most part of the flight Tammie was handling the communications and her copilot was actually the one doing the flying. On final approach there is a manly voice speaking over the radios, so Tammie took over the controls and was the one flying and landing the plane.
Jurrian Wouters agreed. I bet you won’t hear much about the co-pilot - female, ex-Navy Pilot is more dramatic than pilot and co-pilot doing what they’ve been trained to do - their job. Every pilot and co-pilot are responsible for all ‘souls’ onboard. Whatever the story ends up being - I thank the ALL the flight crew (pilot, co-pilot, and flight attendants) for their choice of profession.
Jurrian Wouters Indeed. I hate when they call the pilots heros. They are *professionals*. Thousands of hours flying an training just for that moment. Heroism has a component of pure luck, professionals apply their knowledge. Heroism is overrated.
mtrujillo1973 No, but I have listened to the ATC recordings of Southwest Flight 1380 at the RUclips channel of VASAviation. And I now with my humble knowledge about aviation that when one pilot is communicating over the radios, the other one is doing the flying. Basic division of tasks.
mtrujillo1973 This is very funny, I have 2600 hours on a Tornado, 570 Hours on an F 18 D, 5000 Hours on A320 and now 6700 hours on A 340 as a Captain! Yes, I think I can talk about it. What about you.......
Amazing job by the captain! Her coolness and pilot skills reminded me of Sully . The time I found out that she was a naval pilot, it did not surprise me. She has got my age, maybe I flew with her, because the time I was in the States for my flight training, the first women started there training as well! She did a great job, amazing and save landing! Bravo Zulu, more than just well done! I am sorry for the killed passenger and I will pray for her and her family! RIP
Brady Dechant Because MANY people assume women pilots are not competent simply because they are women. That's simply a fact and if you get onto some of the aviation channels that go over ATC conversations, you will see it all the time.
I only see idiots thinking that others think that, but never actually anyone thinking female pilots are less competent.. I watch ATC stuff all the time, what you say is complete BS for the west at least.
@@LunnarisLP I honestly don't think people mean anything wrong by pointing out a woman doing a job. It's really only to recognize women in a job that's typically dominated by men. If you don't watch or read up on things related to aviation or know many people in aviation, chances are you wouldn't know many women flying commercial planes. I've had many flights and this was the FIRST time I've EVER seen a female pilot on a commercial plane, as sad as that may sound.
First of all I send my deepest sympathies to the lady's family that was lost in this terrible tragedy. Secondly I give praise to the pilot the female pilot that was able to land that plane and no other tragedies happened, that takes a lot of skill she kept her nerves together she knew herself that her life could also end but she overcame all those thoughts and Save all the other people on the plane . All I can say is thank God that all the othes we're saved and thank God for such a skilled pilot. 🙏
Flight crew and pilots did an amazing job! many things said incorrectly by news casters and those being interviewed. Namely the newscaster made the 15,000 food descent sound like it happened because of the engine issue when really it was a controlled rapid descent to get to a safe altitude to breathe at...
And the whole time they don’t even mention the first officer once. Both pilots played major roles in the landing, and it seems unfair to act like the captain did all the work. In fact, considering that the captain was the one talking over the radios, there was a good chance it was even the first officer that actually landed they plane, as generally one pilots talks on the radio and the other does the flying.
Press is so stupid. "no emergency worse than an engine going out." Bull... I can think of several that are much worse... How about all your engines out, or loss of both system A and B hydraulics. And also, the plane didn't dive because it lost an engine, it dived (descended rapidly) because the pilots did such to minimize the passengers exposure to lack of oxygen (because most of them were more interested in taking selfie video of them wearing their masks improperly). The loss of an engine can often require a timely descent, and anything above the mid 20 thousand would require this, but the engine failure doesn't immediately make the aircraft descent. As far as the engine goes, most pilots I know would prefer an engine failure over lots of other issues, as it is something that is relatively minor, and something we CONSTANTLY prepare and train for. Perhaps the media who report on these things could do a better job of getting their facts across, without trying to spin the story for hype... That being said, loss of the cabin (pressurization) combined with an engine failure and medical chaos is pretty bad. And it remains to be seen what damage they had to their wing or tail, specifically did they have symmetric flap and slat extension. So the crew obviously had more than enough challenges. If they indeed landed at 190 knots that seems a bit more than what a flaps 15 single engine landing would require, even at a weight more than maximum landing weight, so I am wondering if they did this for some asymmetry, or because they had unknown structural damage. But not knowing the full extend of damage to your wing and tail it might be a good idea to bump up the speed some on landing, especially when the runway is plenty long enough to get this thing stopped. Looks like they all did a good job, and the results speak for themselves. It sucks that the flying public thinks that because the Captain was a female she deserves extra credit for being female (such stupid logic), when in fact she and any other properly trained and experienced 737 would have handled this emergency fine. Nerves of steel don't come from what airplane you flew in the past, or the fact that you are a male or female pilot, they come from calm, confident people that are highly trained and prepared, and have a lifetime of experience steering the abnormal situations they encounter back into the normal. These people are called pilots. So when we give this female pilot our gratitude, don't forget all the other crew members that were on the airplane making this outcome a success. Condolences to Mrs Riordan and her family.
Kudos, and thank god for the safe "arrival" of the passengers and entire crew, and my heart goes out to the passenger who succumbed the incidence and to her family!
Whoa, this hits pretty close for me because just last Sunday we were supposed to be on a Southwest flight home, but switched airlines a few days prior. Hats off to the crew, because although one passenger passed away, it could have ended much worse. I know I couldn’t do it anyway. A+
I never take pilots for granted and I always thank them if I see them through an open cockpit door after landing. People should be more aware that these people get few thanks from the people whose lives are in their hands.
If she hadn’t been wearing her seatbelt she would have been completely sucked out of the plane. From the description of the events by the passengers that helped get her back into the airplane, it is at the very least implied that she was indeed wearing her seatbelt. Also, if the seatbelt sign was not on at the time the passengers were not under any obligation to wear them. In any event, the victim, in this case, is not to share the blame in any way whatsoever. What’s more, based on all the accounts, they had the good fortune of having an ace pilot who kept her cool and her wits about her, under a most stressful situation, and in doing so managed to save the lives of nearly everyone.
People don't get "sucked" out of airplanes. The pressure differential is not that great. 14psi is NOT enough pressure to force a human body through any hole regardless of what you have seen in the movies. The true danger of depressurization at altitude is oxygen deprivation. You have about a minute before unconsciousness. If the hole is large enough, however, people do get "Blown" out of airplanes by the 500 mph "wind" caused by the plane's forward motion.
All two engine aircraft are designed to take off and land safely on only one engine. Not really that amazing. Just how it is. Aircraft are built that way.
Dear Tammie ! hats off ! you are a real hero and I am showing this video to all my family and friends ! that so much to learn on how to handle tough situations in your life - you did a great job ! you are role model now ! GOD BLESS YOU !
sTrE3trDr Your prejudices and the fact you are most likely an anti-republican activist is why you're surprised. He's a president not Jesus. More significant things are worth to be talked about not a plane being saved
+Tournel Henry this event appeared real but if interview raised questions. too much details where is landing video? from airport security and people on the ground?
Nick Buis pretty sure they had plenty of fuel, primary or backup hydraulics, a tail, WINGS, and landing gear. The only thing that that 737-700 had wrong was a shredded engine.
Whoever says women can't do anything that they want to do is just ignorant. Way to go Tammy Jo! And kudos to the passengers for attempting to assist the women back in the plane.
John Holden give me an example of when someone said this. I can say a lot of things but about my gender(male) and females but I've never said females can't do anything. I believe they're better in certain activities than men
Mike Hascats Who cares about those things. You sound like a little child. Poor little man can’t handle the fact a woman can do anything she wants. Deal with it. It’s how it is. Now go cry to mommy.
Quite possibly the worst way to die. Being half way sucked out of an airplane window. Think there's a lot of wind when you stick your head out of a window in a fast car? Try going 600 mph and the air being negative 60 degrees Fahrenheit...
Richard Dukard I’d cal death on depressurization. Pressure discrepancy was probably so big that her body was ragdolled into the entry, broken on impact. Head, neck, shoulder belt disfigured. I call instant death. Still very ugly way to die. And totally an ugly sight for passengers.
DAAAMMMM MAN, SATULE TO THE WOMEN THAT SAVE LIVES THE MINUTE I LAND I WOULD THANX GOD FIRST AND KISS THE GROUND I GOT A SECOND CHANCE TO MAKE IT RIGHT TELL EVERYONE AND EVERYBODY I AM SORRY LIFE IS SO PRECIOUS LIFE CHANGING experience GOOSEBUMPS. THANX GOD ALL MIGHTY. CASHMERE
Why so much emphasis on her gender? She did a great job; isn't that enough? Gender is totally and completely irrelevant to the story. No one of consequence doubts that women can fly planes and handle major emergencies. There's nothing to prove there. Just let her have the credit as a skilled, competent, and remarkable individual.
Why do you care? They can't mention that she was one of the first female fighter pilots? That's a major accomplishment and definitely RELEVANT to her experience as a pilot.
We are forgetting that like the miracle on the Hudson this was a team effort. Captain, first officer, and cabin crew, all played equal parts, but no one says this
Its amazing that some people have survived being outside a plane in similar accidents. Unfortunately this was not the case this time. May she rest in peace. Well done to those onboard to render what assistance they could and to return this woman to her family. At least they can have that closure.
People talk about how calm the pilot was on the radio..one reason..Her Co-Pilot was also an A&P mechanic, and was feeding her information so she was completely aware of what was going on. Don't forget the role of a&p's in every flight, every day!
LifeisGreat emergencies in aviation are incredibly rare. You have a better chance of getting in a car accident on your way to the airport than being involved in an emergency in the air. Plus, “emergency” is very broad.
It wouldn't really have mattered. Engine failure is something that happens more often than you think. Its not an emergency by any means. Any modern twin engine can fly and even take off on one engine
Sounds like competent pilot training to me. 121 pilots go through this exact scenario or worse every 6 months in the simulator. Even private pilots practice engine out failures.
According to glassdoor.com, ""the typical Southwest Airlines Airline Pilot salary is $146,818. Airline Pilot salaries at Southwest Airlines can range from $48,000 - $275,000. This estimate is based upon 11 Southwest Airlines Airline Pilot salary report(s) provided by employees or estimated based upon statistical methods. When factoring in bonuses and additional compensation, a Airline Pilot at Southwest Airlines can expect to make an average total pay of $151,909 ."
Fritz Fondona A childhood friend of my brother earns well over 200,000 a year. However, he's been a commercial pilot, (I think a captain, but not sure) for around 30 years, with the same company almost that entire time. I'm sure that the amount of time one has been flying, as well as the type of plane will make a difference in pay rate. That said, this woman has been flying for a long time. This was a 737, I think. I'm sure she gets paid pretty well.
She deserves ten million a year with that ability and skill to land a plane with one engine, no hydraulic, and decompression. Talk about nerves of steel. This gal is the gold standard.
And has Trump tweeted or anything to praise her bravery or to offer condolences to the family of the woman who passed? Of course he hasn't. Why am I not surprised?
Rip ❤️❤️❤️ I hope the injured heal and get better. I also hope that the woman’s in a better place now. I haven’t been on an airplane for 3 years and don’t plan to go onto one again.
5:20 What do you mean they lost hydrelics? If they had it would have been impossible without the 2 engines to land so obviously they still had all hydralics still functionning correctly
I really hate mainstream news channels. The female pilot was on the radios for the vast majority of the flight which means she wasn't the pilot who was manipulating the controls and actually flying the plane. The male pilot did that. But because of feminism, they will sing the female pilot's praises. Ask yourself...two pilot's operating...why wasn't the other one even mentioned? They both acted professionally and did their jobs. But the mainstream media has to look for every opportunity to push their agenda. Disgusting.
And I'm sure you complained equally about Sully being recognised as the pilot who landed 1549 right? or was that one ok because he was a male pilot (despite him also being "on the radio")?
Dragonbait clearly you missed my point. The female pilot in this case was the sole pilot featured in this report even though she didn't fly the plane during most of the emergency. Why? Feminist agenda. In the case of Sully, he actually did land the plane so the attention he got was fitting. My issue is the glaring lack of recognition for the pilot who actually flew 1380 because a more attractive (in terms of narrative) person was available to focus on.
Lot of heroes on that flight not the least being Captain Tammie Jo Shults and her copilot. Well done!! RIP Jennifer Riordan. Could you imagine the trauma that all the survivors went through afterwards and perhaps are still going through? Can you imagine the nightmares? This does remind me of the USAirways flight that went down in the Hudson River (Cactus 1549) after a birdstrike knocked out both engines. Unfortunately, in the Southwest case, there was a fatality.
Even though she passed away. I am glad everyone did all they can to try and save her. RIP JR

All I can say is thank God that all the othes we're saved and thank God for such a skilled pilot. 🙏
Flight crew and pilots did an amazing job! many things said incorrectly by news casters and those being interviewed. Namely the newscaster made the 15,000 food descent sound like it happened because of the engine issue when really it was a controlled rapid descent to get to a safe altitude to breathe at...
It’s heart breaking that one died
I am proud of the pilot and her wisdom and knowledge tried to save people and her self good job!!
And the whole time they don’t even mention the first officer once. Both pilots played major roles in the landing, and it seems unfair to act like the captain did all the work. In fact, considering that the captain was the one talking over the radios, there was a good chance it was even the first officer that actually landed they plane, as generally one pilots talks on the radio and the other does the flying.
God bless her family. My heart is breaking for them.
Excellent report! This reporter Velshi is a rockstar!
Press is so stupid. "no emergency worse than an engine going out." Bull... I can think of several that are much worse... How about all your engines out, or loss of both system A and B hydraulics. And also, the plane didn't dive because it lost an engine, it dived (descended rapidly) because the pilots did such to minimize the passengers exposure to lack of oxygen (because most of them were more interested in taking selfie video of them wearing their masks improperly). The loss of an engine can often require a timely descent, and anything above the mid 20 thousand would require this, but the engine failure doesn't immediately make the aircraft descent. As far as the engine goes, most pilots I know would prefer an engine failure over lots of other issues, as it is something that is relatively minor, and something we CONSTANTLY prepare and train for. Perhaps the media who report on these things could do a better job of getting their facts across, without trying to spin the story for hype...
That being said, loss of the cabin (pressurization) combined with an engine failure and medical chaos is pretty bad. And it remains to be seen what damage they had to their wing or tail, specifically did they have symmetric flap and slat extension. So the crew obviously had more than enough challenges. If they indeed landed at 190 knots that seems a bit more than what a flaps 15 single engine landing would require, even at a weight more than maximum landing weight, so I am wondering if they did this for some asymmetry, or because they had unknown structural damage. But not knowing the full extend of damage to your wing and tail it might be a good idea to bump up the speed some on landing, especially when the runway is plenty long enough to get this thing stopped.
Looks like they all did a good job, and the results speak for themselves.
It sucks that the flying public thinks that because the Captain was a female she deserves extra credit for being female (such stupid logic), when in fact she and any other properly trained and experienced 737 would have handled this emergency fine. Nerves of steel don't come from what airplane you flew in the past, or the fact that you are a male or female pilot, they come from calm, confident people that are highly trained and prepared, and have a lifetime of experience steering the abnormal situations they encounter back into the normal. These people are called pilots.
So when we give this female pilot our gratitude, don't forget all the other crew members that were on the airplane making this outcome a success.
Condolences to Mrs Riordan and her family.
A hijacking would be worse imho
A real accident is much worse than this hoax.
a hoax? I was ON that plane you lying troglodyte.
I always wanted to meet a crisis-actor. Have you already put up your gofundme page ?
Grow up... Somebody lost their life and others injured here, and you make a comment like that. Stay off the thread if you can't be respectful.
Kudos, and thank god for the safe "arrival" of the passengers and entire crew, and my heart goes out to the passenger who succumbed the incidence and to her family!
Master pilot! Very well done Tammie!
Whoa, this hits pretty close for me because just last Sunday we were supposed to be on a Southwest flight home, but switched airlines a few days prior. Hats off to the crew, because although one passenger passed away, it could have ended much worse. I know I couldn’t do it anyway. A+
made me cry
Wow! I was teary eyed. Godbless the Pilot.
I never take pilots for granted and I always thank them if I see them through an open cockpit door after landing. People should be more aware that these people get few thanks from the people whose lives are in their hands.
God Bless the pilot !!! Omg!!!! I’m on the ground distraught for all of them... devastating- prayers for the victim and survivors
What a fantastic pilot
I’m sorry for everyone who had to go through this trauma
How sad... No one mentioned if the victim was wearing her seatbelt before she was pulled out through the window...
You aren’t required to ware seatbelts 'in flight'
You are definitely encouraged to keep your seat belts on while seated.
jwd0808 reports were that because she was wearing her seatbelt she was not completely sucked out.
If she hadn’t been wearing her seatbelt she would have been completely sucked out of the plane. From the description of the events by the passengers that helped get her back into the airplane, it is at the very least implied that she was indeed wearing her seatbelt. Also, if the seatbelt sign was not on at the time the passengers were not under any obligation to wear them. In any event, the victim, in this case, is not to share the blame in any way whatsoever. What’s more, based on all the accounts, they had the good fortune of having an ace pilot who kept her cool and her wits about her, under a most stressful situation, and in doing so managed to save the lives of nearly everyone.
People don't get "sucked" out of airplanes. The pressure differential is not that great.
14psi is NOT enough pressure to force a human body through any hole regardless of what you have seen in the movies.
The true danger of depressurization at altitude is oxygen deprivation. You have about a minute before unconsciousness.
If the hole is large enough, however, people do get "Blown" out of airplanes by the 500 mph "wind" caused by the plane's forward motion.
The calmness of these heroes were unreal! 😟
Very good job pilot! I hope she does get a medal!
I hope she gets 10 years behind bars.
These people were so lucky it was only one engine that had an issue and a pilot that could keep her cool in this situation just amazing
Good job 👍 pilot 👩✈️, bless you
She's a hero in my books
Thank the Lord, Fantastic job Tammy Jo. Your an Ace.
Think you mean "you're".
Yeah, an ACE is reserved for shooting down enemy aircraft. Try again.
That’s amazing that a plane still flies without one of its engines. Planes are amazing and the pilot was amazing
All two engine aircraft are designed to take off and land safely on only one engine. Not really that amazing. Just how it is. Aircraft are built that way.
Why is he pointing at all the words? We know how to read, you know.
Because it's MSNBC?
Otter InBham you’d be surprised
Otter InBham because his channel is mainly watched by Liberals and they can't think for themselves.
The pilot was so calm and that what you need in that situation.
"An aviation enthusiast like me"
*Almost calls a 737 a 3730 or something*
Dear Tammie ! hats off ! you are a real hero and I am showing this video to all my family and friends ! that so much to learn on how to handle tough situations in your life - you did a great job ! you are role model now ! GOD BLESS YOU !
But yet not words from the US president, but when his building got on fire he went crazy on tweeter about it. 😂
sTrE3trDr I know what a joke!
What do you need to hear from him dummy! Does he have to make a comment about everything! Smh
sTrE3trDr Your prejudices and the fact you are most likely an anti-republican activist is why you're surprised. He's a president not Jesus. More significant things are worth to be talked about not a plane being saved
its because the captain was a woman...
Wow! Such an amazing pilot!
Both pilots, Captain & First Officer.
At 5:21, no hydraulics? Where did she get that from?
Hahahaha I was looking for this comment. Where did she hear that from.
+Tournel Henry this event appeared real but if interview raised questions.
too much details
where is landing video? from airport security and people on the ground?
She was just saying random stuff out of fear... lol
No hydraulics, no landing gears, one engine only, no fuel, missing tail and no wings... Nerves of steel, true hero!
Nick Buis pretty sure they had plenty of fuel, primary or backup hydraulics, a tail, WINGS, and landing gear. The only thing that that 737-700 had wrong was a shredded engine.
I love this guy. Thanks for the vid V
Whoever says women can't do anything that they want to do is just ignorant. Way to go Tammy Jo! And kudos to the passengers for attempting to assist the women back in the plane.
John Holden give me an example of when someone said this. I can say a lot of things but about my gender(male) and females but I've never said females can't do anything. I believe they're better in certain activities than men
uhhh all weightlifting and running world records are held by men..... so women CANNOT do anything they want to. flying a plane is just a big videogame
John Holden, thanks for stating the obvious, and failing to recognize the focus of this story
Mike Hascats Who cares about those things. You sound like a little child. Poor little man can’t handle the fact a woman can do anything she wants. Deal with it. It’s how it is. Now go cry to mommy.
Lisa Knight you women think you can do anything.Face the facts
Great job by BOTH pilots!!
Quite possibly the worst way to die. Being half way sucked out of an airplane window. Think there's a lot of wind when you stick your head out of a window in a fast car? Try going 600 mph and the air being negative 60 degrees Fahrenheit...
Yes, I agree. God have mercy on Mrs Jennifer Riordan and her soul.
Richard Dukard I’d cal death on depressurization. Pressure discrepancy was probably so big that her body was ragdolled into the entry, broken on impact. Head, neck, shoulder belt disfigured. I call instant death. Still very ugly way to die. And totally an ugly sight for passengers.
That pilot's calm voice during her communication with control tower gave me chills! She is the real ICEMAN!
DAAAMMMM MAN, SATULE TO THE WOMEN THAT SAVE LIVES THE MINUTE I LAND I WOULD THANX GOD FIRST AND KISS THE GROUND I GOT A SECOND CHANCE TO MAKE IT RIGHT TELL EVERYONE AND EVERYBODY I AM SORRY LIFE IS SO PRECIOUS LIFE CHANGING experience GOOSEBUMPS. THANX GOD ALL MIGHTY. CASHMERE
The calmest pilot in the time of emergency, that's the key because panic won't save anyone including herself.
That pilot 👩✈️ is a hero
Thank you Tammie Jo Shults ❤❤
Why so much emphasis on her gender? She did a great job; isn't that enough? Gender is totally and completely irrelevant to the story.
No one of consequence doubts that women can fly planes and handle major emergencies. There's nothing to prove there. Just let her have the credit as a skilled, competent, and remarkable individual.
Why do you care? They can't mention that she was one of the first female fighter pilots? That's a major accomplishment and definitely RELEVANT to her experience as a pilot.
We are forgetting that like the miracle on the Hudson this was a team effort. Captain, first officer, and cabin crew, all played equal parts, but no one says this
Poor Riordan....ripped out of her seat through a broken window...caused by the exploding engine!
Its amazing that some people have survived being outside a plane in similar accidents. Unfortunately this was not the case this time. May she rest in peace. Well done to those onboard to render what assistance they could and to return this woman to her family. At least they can have that closure.
Tammy Jo is a boss
People talk about how calm the pilot was on the radio..one reason..Her Co-Pilot was also an A&P mechanic, and was feeding her information so she was completely aware of what was going on. Don't forget the role of a&p's in every flight, every day!
imagine if this happened while over the ocean... could have been so much worse.
still would be nothing compared to Air France 447, where the plane just belly flopped from a stall and 228 people died
Good thing Southwest doesn’t fly overseas nor do most 737’s.
fozzy882001 Clearly they shouldn't fly anywhere near water considering all the emergency landings they have to make
LifeisGreat emergencies in aviation are incredibly rare. You have a better chance of getting in a car accident on your way to the airport than being involved in an emergency in the air. Plus, “emergency” is very broad.
It wouldn't really have mattered. Engine failure is something that happens more often than you think. Its not an emergency by any means. Any modern twin engine can fly and even take off on one engine
What a hero. well done. she saved all those lives.
My heart goes out to the woman who lost her life that day. how awful.
Calls himself an aircraft enthusiast, then calls it an “engine cover” instead of cowling. That’s fake new MSDNC for ya.
probably dumbing down for people who wouldn't know wtf a cowling is.
and also get on the ground........WTF...Where is the 35 seconds of decision
Absolutely amazed at how composed the pilot was able to remain.
Now I dont want to fly on window seat again......
Finally a news reporter that knows at least something about aviation
and people say it is a miracle.
Sounds more like competent military training to me.
Sounds like competent pilot training to me. 121 pilots go through this exact scenario or worse every 6 months in the simulator. Even private pilots practice engine out failures.
It only holds 143 PAX. 5 crew members plus 3 extra jump seats. I guess an employee was sitting on one of the jump seats. So sad!
Congrats female pilot. You did great. 👏
Tammie Jo Shults a true American hero. As are the other pilots, attendants and several passengers.
Shoutout to the first officer who gets zero credit
Thank u so much pilot, its a nightmare without u
And I am betting she is making all of 35K a year.
Fritz Fondona Pilots make quite a bit, actually.
Pamela B what is ‘quite a bit’? Any thing less than $100,000.00 annual salary is parasitism
According to glassdoor.com, ""the typical Southwest Airlines Airline Pilot salary is $146,818. Airline Pilot salaries at Southwest Airlines can range from $48,000 - $275,000. This estimate is based upon 11 Southwest Airlines Airline Pilot salary report(s) provided by employees or estimated based upon statistical methods. When factoring in bonuses and additional compensation, a Airline Pilot at Southwest Airlines can expect to make an average total pay of $151,909 ."
Fritz Fondona A childhood friend of my brother earns well over 200,000 a year. However, he's been a commercial pilot, (I think a captain, but not sure) for around 30 years, with the same company almost that entire time. I'm sure that the amount of time one has been flying, as well as the type of plane will make a difference in pay rate. That said, this woman has been flying for a long time. This was a 737, I think. I'm sure she gets paid pretty well.
She deserves ten million a year with that ability and skill to land a plane with one engine, no hydraulic, and decompression. Talk about nerves of steel. This gal is the gold standard.
Prayers for the pilot that died and his family's loss!
And has Trump tweeted or anything to praise her bravery or to offer condolences to the family of the woman who passed? Of course he hasn't. Why am I not surprised?
you do know that he is the reason that there have been less airplane tragedies..... I mean that's what he said 🤔😆
Bob W because she’s doing her job, every airline pilot trains for emergencies just like this
Such a whiner.
My Opinion.... exactly who tf cares. And what does trump have to do with this😂
Rip ❤️❤️❤️ I hope the injured heal and get better. I also hope that the woman’s in a better place now. I haven’t been on an airplane for 3 years and don’t plan to go onto one again.
5:20 What do you mean they lost hydrelics?
If they had it would have been impossible without the 2 engines to land so obviously they still had all hydralics still functionning correctly
luke thomas *hydraulics
4:43 that woman is a stunner. what a legend.
I really hate mainstream news channels. The female pilot was on the radios for the vast majority of the flight which means she wasn't the pilot who was manipulating the controls and actually flying the plane. The male pilot did that. But because of feminism, they will sing the female pilot's praises. Ask yourself...two pilot's operating...why wasn't the other one even mentioned? They both acted professionally and did their jobs. But the mainstream media has to look for every opportunity to push their agenda. Disgusting.
And I'm sure you complained equally about Sully being recognised as the pilot who landed 1549 right? or was that one ok because he was a male pilot (despite him also being "on the radio")?
Dragonbait clearly you missed my point. The female pilot in this case was the sole pilot featured in this report even though she didn't fly the plane during most of the emergency. Why? Feminist agenda. In the case of Sully, he actually did land the plane so the attention he got was fitting. My issue is the glaring lack of recognition for the pilot who actually flew 1380 because a more attractive (in terms of narrative) person was available to focus on.
turbofan450 wrong son, she was the pilot and the other guy was the flight officer, (junior co-pilot with less flight experience or hours)
+turbofan450 good question. was this like Hudson bay landing hoax?
+Dragonbait that was a hoax, this appears real
Lot of heroes on that flight not the least being Captain Tammie Jo Shults and her copilot. Well done!! RIP Jennifer Riordan. Could you imagine the trauma that all the survivors went through afterwards and perhaps are still going through? Can you imagine the nightmares? This does remind me of the USAirways flight that went down in the Hudson River (Cactus 1549) after a birdstrike knocked out both engines. Unfortunately, in the Southwest case, there was a fatality.
