    WACU reported a passenger was "partially sucked out" of one of the plane's windows when the engine exploded and shrapnel from the engine pierced through a window, a father of one of the passengers said.

    Still safer than driving to work.

    Discussion is an exchange of intelligence. Argument is an exchange of
    ignorance. Ever found a liberal that you can have a discussion with?

    Based on ballistics and fragment research I have personally conducted for one of the major aircraft producers, I never sit perpendicular to any engine components.

    Yeah, pretty sure that lady needed a fresh pair of underwear after that episode. I'm also sure Southwest is already prepping the settlement checks. Why doesn't crap like this ever happen to me? I need a better retirement plan.

    Trust in the fact that you never want to get a big settlement check.. those are only given to those who are truly fucked up.

    Maybe she should have paid attention to the seatbelt sign...

    Was she the one screaming something about a gremlin on the wing just before the engine exploded?

    This.

    Having been around a few people who got large settlement checks, Monky is absolutely correct.

    Having money but being in debilitating pain or physically unable to use it makes it less desirable.
