Southwest crew detail engine explosion
The flight crew on the Southwest jet that was forced to make an emergency landing in Philadelphia after an engine exploded described the harrowing experience in their first joint interview Wednesday. Capt. Tammie Jo Shults called her first officer Darren Ellisor an "unsung hero", saying he helped communicate with the flight attendants while she took controls for the landing. Shults, who was one of the first female fighter pilots in the US Navy, said her military training helped her keep calm. Meanwhile in the cabin, flight attendant Rachel Fernheimer said she made sure to reassure passengers that everything would be OK. The crew had met together before the flight and one of the topics they discussed was faith, according to Shults. Flight attendant Seanique Mallory said considering what happened moments later, "God had already prepared us without us even knowing." <br/>
