This reminds me of Southwest Airlines Flight 3472. It's on Air Disasters, and a passenger nearly ejects out the window after the engine's debris onto the window, and was killed. The pilots of S.W.A Flight 3472 managed to land safely and those ain't just any pilots; The captain was a U.S. Navy pilot, even the F.O. They're recognized the pilots and met the U.S. President, also the flight attendants were recognized, too! The flight attendants became heroes.

Excellent footage. First time I’ve seen plane debris on camera. Also, kinda satisfying [No offense to anyone involved in the accident]

Now Boeing is grounding 777's with the P&W engines! Boeing's troubles continue as their stock takes a hit. Need to know why this happened - a simple maintenance error?
