Reportedly one fatality after an in-flight uncontained portside engine failure on SW1380 Boeing 737 from LGA to DFW.

Emergency landing at PHL; no emergency slides.

Looking at the damage to the engine nacelle, and the fact that there appears to have been a penetration of the fuselage with loss of a window at seat 14A, the flight crew did a bloody good job.

Just reading this on the news websites. Absolutely horrendous and thoughts are with the crew, passengers and relatives of those on board.

My immediate reaction too.....

Funny how even in a potentially catastrophic emergency, some still find time to take photos of themselves for social media.
