"The female pilot immediately diverted its course ..."

I found that odd also. WTH does gender have to do with it? Now if IT were a Tranny, that would be a story!

That’s sad.

In the US for January, passenger aircraft flew about 7.5 billion miles, translating to over one trillion seat miles. There’s hardly ever a mishap anymore.

Our local news in Pittsburgh is reporting the woman has passed away, sadly. How awful. RIP

...Wasn’t this type of thing, being sucked out of airplanes, debunked by Mythbusters?...

They were wrong. It can happen.

I agree that passenger safety on commercial aircraft in our country is truly remarkable. That said, did you see the 60 Minutes segment on Allegiant Airlines? Yikes!

At least one FReeper likes Allegiant’s seats.

I found the 60 Minutes report online and am watching it now. Did they mention that Allegiant is still several times safer than driving your car?

Wait.

That's what's important here.

“there’s a group of freepers with peanut sized brains, and other, I suppose, who take every accident, incident, failure etc by a female whatever as evidence of male superiority in all things.”

Typical female comment trying to cover for another female pilot who blew up an airplane engine. Had that pilot not overtorqued the enfabulator on the clearly marked 737 fly by wire override panel she would never have lost the engine.

That Aloha Airlines incident is the reason airlines suggest you keep your seatbelt on even at cruising altitude.

There are these things called seat belts. They are highly recommended at all time while flying.

Maybe not in your life.

How terribly sad and traumatic.

Prayers for the family/loved ones, of the victim, and to all who witnessed this horrific scene.

She may have died from shrapnel.
