        "The flight attendant confirmed that the engine blew out and when we landed, there were no hydraulics," Southwest passenger Marty Martinez claims. "So I guess the pilot landed manually." https://cbsn.ws/2H6Prtt pic.twitter.com/R42Bo0vEMa

        American pilots train to lose one engine and fly the plane safely to landing. It’s pilot skill plus quality aircraft. #proudmomofapilot

        You'll find that rule also applies in Europe with non Boeing planes that are also quality too. It would make sense really.

        Pay attention to safety instructions!Many people did not have the oxygen over mouth AND nose.Also noticed during the descent people still had laptops open and on tray tables?Obviously not aware that a flying laptop can be deadly as well.Kudos to the crew and pilot.@SouthwestAir

        Thankfully the pilots & in-flight crew were able to successfully keep their passengers as safe as possible & land the aircraft! Kudos!

        When did live streaming an emergency landing become part of the safety briefing giving to airline passengers? Aren't they forbidden from using their phone during takeoff and landing?
