In for shitshow comments. But I’ve got a break and I’m bored, I’ll pull up the ATC traffic.

ETA:

Also, how do folks know this stuff so fast? Do people literally just sit around all day staring at flight trackers?

ETA 2:

Chart shows a very rapid descent to 10,000 ft and they diverted to DAL despite being close to their destination. That’s likely either a medical emergency or pressurization issue.

ETA 3:

Pilot just stated they are losing an engine.

ETA 4:

Aircraft has safely landed at Love Field.

Interesting to follow.
Looks like on the ground at Love Field.

Looks like they are heading for Love Field. Any reason to go there instead of Dallas Int’l?

I don’t work for SW but I believe they have a hub station at that location. It’ll be easier for them to move passengers to a different airplane and also perform the engine repair/swap or whatever else is wrong with that aircraft.

Interesting that they would initiate a rapid descent to 10,000 for a lost engine. I would think that a proper drift down would take place but I’m sure they’re following the QRH. I don’t have mine memorized but that seems like a an unnecessary procedure unless as you mentioned, loss of pressurization.

It’s possible they had one bleed/AC system inop. Lose the other one and you’re down to 10,000’.

Also, they were probably close enough to DAL that flying at 10k wasn’t an issue.

yep, my guess too.

although squawking 7700 is usually only done if you are not in radio contact with ATC, so that is kinda weird


emergency descent is pretty straight forward on a 737. I did one for a cracked pressure window pane. Luckily it didnt  blow out. I read the checklist that said

" Tighten lap belt and shoulder harness"

and the captain responded "why"

and I said " because your pink misty body will fit through that little eyebrow window whether you want it to or not"

LOL at how fast he put his shoulder harness on

Thanks for the updates.

And I knew because I look at the globaladsb webpage because you can filter out for just military aircraft and I like to see what is up and flying and right before I close it I always filter for a 7700 squawk.  Just happened to be one this time.

ETA to add glad they are down safe

The only Southwest engine I've hauled was going to GE in Malaysia for rebuilding. The third world isn't who I would choose to repair my engine.

nothing like outsourcing one of the most important parts of the plane, at least they have two I suppose.

Your aircraft, ship, train, bus, or auto is only as good as the mechanics that are working on it. That goes for at when it's manufactured, as well as normal servicing and maintenance. The future is indeed frightening.

Remember a year or two ago when that train derailed in Ohio, with the big fire and chemical spill, then every few days another railroad mishap would make the news? This is like that.

My tinfoil may be on a bit tight, but I think that the focus on everything that involves a Boeing aircraft, while ignoring all the other planes, is an effort to lower Boeing stock price, so someone can buy a truckload of it cheap before WWIII becomes official. Yes, I know that is a bit out there.
