Description

When an engine on Southwest Airlines flight 1380 failed in midair, cracking a window and tragically causing the death of a passenger, every single passenger on the Boeing 737 dealt with some very real emotions at the same time, in their own way. Some were terrified. Others comforted the people near them. Many took the time to write texts saying goodbye to their family and friends. This is the story of what happened on that flight, from the people who lived through it and the reporters who covered it on the ground.

Jennifer Riordan leaves behind her husband and two children. Her family has set up a trust in her memory to support causes Jennifer cared about.
