^^^She (the pilot) was cool as a cucumber talking to the tower. Even when she said (incorrectly) someone was sucked out of the plane.

Turns out the pilot was one of the first woman fighter pilots.

Ya well when a fan blade lets go, good things are not going to happen. Reminded me of Souix city Iowa and the DC-10's I use to build.

Yes credit goes to the pilots and there training.

Being an aircraft mechanic in the Air Force I know not to sit parallel to the engines unless I don't have a choice. I try to sit just behind the wings. The wing ares is the strongest part of the aircraft.

Someone will be crucified for this accident because it will come down to someone taking a shortcut and overlooking somthing to save time. I never perused an aircraft maintenance job because one mistake can cause hundreds of lives. I remember the Alaskan Airline that crashed off the coast of Oxnard. The mechanic wrote up a woren jackscrew and his boss cleared the plane to fly. I wonder where that boss is now?

My turbine plane of rotation theory was wrong. The broken window was behind the wing and engine. Crap goes everywhere when an engine explodes.

I wonder if she had her seatbelt on? If so would it have kept her inside the aircraft?

I believe she was partly outside the aircraft, passengers tell of pulling her back in. Guessing she was belted in and head and shoulders went out the window.
