Although Southwest has been historically one of the safest airlines out there, I feel like they are playing Russian Roulette with them old ass planes.
The last flight I was on, was a SW flight and it just didn't feel stable at all.

Damn, that's crazy. I used to fly once a week for work and pretty much used Southwest for every trip. After so many flights you don't really think it'll happen to you.
Of all the cheaper airlines, I'd consider them one of the better ones. But they have some old ass planes in their fleet.

A woman was nearly sucked out of a Southwest Airlines flight Tuesday when an engine exploded in mid-air, causing shrapnel to shatter the jet’s window, according to terrified passengers.
The left engine of Flight 1380 — bound from LaGuardia Airport to Dallas — suddenly burst around 11:30 a.m. as the plane was near Philadelphia, passengers said on social media.
A piece of shrapnel from the explosion blew out a window, and a female passenger was partially sucked out of the hole, sending her fellow fliers scrambling to her rescue.
“One passenger, a woman, was partially … was drawn out towards the out of the plane … was pulled back in by other passengers,” Todd Baur, the father of a passenger, told NBC10.
Marty Martinez, who was aboard the flight, said a female flier — it’s unclear whether it was the same woman nearly sucked out — suffered a heart attack in the chaos.
“Someone on the plane had a heart attack and it looks like an engine blew out then a window was blown open,” he saidon Facebook. “We are still on the plane and they are trying to revive a woman on the plane.”
The Boeing 737-700 made an emergency landing at Philadelphia International Airport, where its 143 customers and five crewmembers were being deplaned, Southwest said in a statement.
On the tarmac, Joe Marcus tweeted a photo of the plane’s mangled engine, captioned, “What a flight! Made it!! Still here!!”
The airline didn’t immediately offer any official insight into what caused the terrifying breakdown.
