A short while ago 2 tornado jets went screaming over our house (the time when Russia were in Britain's space).

I'm proud to say that the industry in which I work (aviation) is full of absolute heroes. A dramatic event occurred yesterday on a Southwest flight from New York to Dallas where the left hand engine shed a fan blade (the fan is the first compressor stage - basically the big blades you see when you look into the front of the engine). A window was broken and a female passenger sucked partially out of the window before being dragged back in by fellow passengers. Sadly the passenger in question (a mother of 2) sustained fatal injuries. The first video is a CBS evening news bulletin, the second is a summary of the communications between the aircraft crew and air traffic control. It is humbling to listen to these absolute professionals managing an emergency situation with maximum professionalism and minimum fuss. Awesome.
