Dont mean to diminish what she did but flying a plane with one engine is one of the most routine trainings a pilot undergoes. In fact the autopilot will do most of the flying right up to the point of touchdown. To her credit she gets points for not freaking out , or at least not showing it.

I’m confused and admit upfront I know nothing of aircraft operations. But, what about the broken window, losing air pressure in the cabin, and a woman who died? Was it really that routine to land a damaged plane, where was not simply a matter of losing an engine but also flying a damaged aircraft with one good engine?
