An American pilot who made an emergency landing Tuesday after the plane lost an engine is being praised for her “nerves of steel.” The pilot, Tammie Jo Schults, was flying a Southwest Airlines plane from New York City to Dallas, Texas, when the engine blew and broke apart. She landed the plane safely in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Sharp pieces of the engine struck and broke one of the plane’s windows. One passenger died after being partly sucked out of the plane. That passenger, Jennifer Riordan, was sitting next to the window that broke. Seven other people were hurt. Schults, who is 56 years old, took the plane into a fast descent. Passengers used oxygen masks and prepared for the force of landing. Schults’ clear thinking during a high-pressure situation helped save many lives.
