“When an engine exploded on Southwest flight 1380 Wednesday, pilot Tammie Jo Shults calmly alerted air traffic control and prepared for an emergency landing in Philadelphia.
“We are single engine,” Shults, a former U.S. Navy pilot, said, according to a recordingof the correspondence. “Part of it’s missing,” she added. “They said there’s a hole and someone went out.”
Shults later landed the Boeing 737-700 jet with one engine and a shattered passenger window, with 144 passengers and five crew members on board.

That passenger later died in a hospital, according to a Philadelphia-based NBC affiliate, and seven others were injured during the ordeal.”
