WASHINGTON - The U.S. National Transportation Safety Board said on Tuesday it will meet to determine the probable cause of the April 2018 uncontained engine failure of Southwest Airlines flight 1380 that killed a passenger who was partially sucked out the window.
The accident occurred when a fan blade failed on a Boeing 737-700 jet powered by two CFM International CFM56-7B engines which experienced a failure of the left engine after departing New York’s LaGuardia Airport. The plane, bound for Dallas, diverted to Philadelphia International Airport and eight of the 144 passengers suffered minor injuries.
At least 14 passengers have sued the airline, Boeing and CFM and at least 11 have settled, according to court filings. On Tuesday, Southwest said in a statement it appreciated the work of the NTSB “and each of the parties working to determine the probable cause of the accident. We all have the same goals: to share facts, learn what happened, and prevent this type of event from ever happening again.”
