I’m sure, by now, you’ve heard about the dramatic emergency landing of Southwest flight 1380 by now. An engine failed on the LaGuardia to Dallas-bound flight, resulting in a moment of sheer terror in the sky. There was one fatality after a piece of the engine crashed into a window, “violently depressurizing” the cabin and reportedly “sucking” a passenger through a window who was then pulled back into the airplane.

Listen to the harrowing communications between the aircraft and the air traffic control tower in the video at the top of the post. It will send a chill down you spine, yet she remains calm, cool, and collected in face of sudden danger. She asks for medical to meet the plane on the runway. She’s a model professional, a true hero.
It’s been too long since we’ve acknowledged a hero here on BroBible. The pilot, Tammie Jo Shults, is a hero. With a big piece of the aircraft missing, she managed to guide the plane to the ground at the Philadelphia, saving scores of lives. 144 passengers and five crew members were onboard the flight.
Shults is a true American badass. I just think we have to acknowledge that today.
Tammie Jo Shults, pictured left, was the pilot of Southwest Flight 1380 when an engine failed mid-air. She is being hailed as a hero for safely landing the plane. Shults previously was a Navy fighter pilot who was one of the first women to fly F-18s: https://t.co/Dz6qCMtZZ8 pic.twitter.com/TxwyspJq5J
