My old man is a television repairman, he's got this ultimate set of tools. I can fix it.

Yikes. Glad they all made it down safely.
Looks like they narrowly escaped a much bigger disaster as some of the engine parts impacted the fuselage and could have cause much worse problems. |

Blades look ok, aren't the cowls designed to pass overtop the wing in the airstream to prevent damage?
Can a 737 make it down on one engine? Comments: True... I was on that flight. Southwest offers to return money paid for ticket , $500 Southwest Voucher, & "Possibly" reimburse you for car rentals. Really Southwest...Possibly.

Great - every time I sit in a seat next to the engine, all I can think about is the engine breaking apart with bits and pieces penetrating the fuselage decapitating me. This doesn't help.

Got to wonder if the engine was still running and providing any thrust or if it has sucked enough stuff in to eat itself up?

I WOULD HAVE SHIT THROUGH THE FUSELAGE IF I WAS IN ONE OF THOSE WINDOW SEATS BY THE DENTS.

View Quote Next to the engine should be fine. A few rows back... Statistically speaking, near the rear of the plane is the safest place to be. |

Quoted: Blades look ok, aren't the cowls designed to pass overtop the wing in the airstream to prevent damage? Can a 737 make it down on one engine? View Quote Yes, easily. They probably had to shut that engine midflight anyways. Much easier to come down with one engine than try to take off with one engine. |

Quoted: Not an engine malfunction. Purely structural. Interesting as inlet lips are pretty well built. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes |

I thought statistically the seats near the wing are safer than front or back. I think there are going to be some new Amtrak and Greyhound fans from that flight though. Quoted:

No, it stopped in mid-air and they got a big ass crane out to lower it back to the ground. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted:

Quoted: The cowlings are designed to completely contain a single blade deportation, right?

Quoted: Can a 737 make it down on one engine? View Quote Serious answer though, yes, a 737 can fly on one engine. Last spring I was on one that had an engine quit 10 minutes after takeoff. We diverted to Pittsburgh safely. That is some crazy damage. I'd really like to know how that happened, especially considering that I work on those for a living. |

Looks like a complete puncture to the fuselage skin.
Edit: how does a cowling failure punch a hole through the fuselage. |

Bet it was compressor stalling like a mother...
Airflow into the engine had to be all jacked up. TC ETA: smiling bandit beat me to it. Don't know if a compressor stall would bend that metal but that metal might cause a compressor stall. |

Bondo / JB Weld and ready for the next hop!
Wonder where the pieces ended up ????? |
