Leave it to a HuffPo "contributor" to be clueless regarding the aiplane there are flying on.

“It was absolutely terrifying,” Grant Cardone, author and Huffington Post contributor, told KNX 1070.
“I picked up my iPad and for some odd reason, started videoing the takeoff of this flight...
Delta said the flight landed at JFK without incident. No injuries were reported. Leave it to a Huffington Post contributor to think he is something special and those rules about all electronics being off during takeoff and landing don't apply to him. Dumbass.
The flight landed without incident nor injury because the aircraft designers anticipate this kind of incident, and pilots are trained to deal with it. Not exactly commonplace, but not unexpected either.

What a drama queen. Bet he didn't think for a moment to try to re-assure those around him. Nope, it was about being part of the story and all about him. Sheesh, they can fly with one engine. Still, the best thing is to emergency land. I'm glad things turned out well.
After watching the movie, "Knowing", with the scene of an airliner coming down in front of the lead character and it's horrific special-effects, I wonder what I would do in such circumstances if heading down. Don't we all?
Remember Flight 93! Our civilian best...LET'S ROLL!

I’d like to know how smoke from the fire in the engine got into the cabin. I thought the cabin was pressurized at around 6,000 feet and would push out any smoke from outside. They need some silicone or something to fill in the cracks.

Reminds me of the Far Side cartoon, where the bird is watching TV with the bird reporter reporting with a plane crash in the background,
“Details are still sketchy, but we think the name of the bird sucked into the jet’s engines was Harold Meeker.”

I thought we had a deal with the pigeons. They’re supposed to get out of the way.
