Heroic crew of Southwest Flight 1380 describe bond that pulled them through chaos

Only on "CBS This Morning," the heroic crew of Southwest Airlines Flight 1380 is together for their first joint interview after a midair engine explosion in April. With just one engine still working, the pilots landed safely in Philadelphia. Capt. Tammie Jo Shults, First Officer Darren Ellisor, and flight attendants Rachel Fernheimer, Seanique Mallory and Kathryn Sandoval join us in Studio 57 to discuss their harrowing journey and how a bond formed before their flight helped them pull through the chaos.

Asking how a person could fit through an airplane window, knowing the violent and traumatic nature of her death, was wildly inappropriate at best.

[@vp4822]

ABSOLUTELY terrible to ask such a terrible question.

[@lanemorrow7417]

I completely agree, She doesn't use her head sometimes asking a question like that. Thankfully this fully trained and very competent flight crew knew not only how to handle that poor woman during the incident but they handled that stupid question with eloquence

Don’t you know she’d be showing photos of the corpse hanging out the window. Also, guaranteed that she was cringing as they crew discussed their Bible studying. Haven’t watched CBS for years for this reason.

@@j.y.3604 Umm your ability to relate is irrelevant when compared to the mental well-being of those who actually lived it. It's like asking someone who witnesses a person getting hit by a train to describe how many parts the body was left in. Your curiosity is the least important factor. You do not matter in any way whatsoever in this situation, nobody asking those questions does. What matters is that those who went through it are not made to relive horrific details when it's not necessary. (And no, satisfying your morbid curiosity does not count as "necessary.")

Kind of inappropriate to be pressuring them to describe "how someone fits through a airplane window". Ummm obviously violently and horrifically! You think she just slid right through? Obviously the suction is so powerful it crushed her and probably broke and dislocated a lot of her bones. So why would you want them to describe that on live TV?

Thats Gayle. She clearly can't self think or follow instructions. I have no doubt a SW Lawyer told them point blank "please do not ask about the deceased passanger or the situation regarding that.

This is leadership and teamwork at their damned finest. The Captain's laser-like focus in eliminating symptoms first then quickly analyzing the problem DESPITE the grave amount of pressure is outstanding. Her technical and leadership skills shine through. Notice how she was so calm during the ATC recordings and how she was quick to give credit to her FO in this interview. No amount of technical skills would be enough if leadership is lacking during those crucial moments. And of course, she wouldn't be able to this without the support of her steady FO. The cabin crew as well is very commendable and their trust towards the pilot is nothing short of amazing. Truly a display of outstanding teamwork. RIP to the lost soul. The Captain is true in saying that the saving of majority of the passengers should not, in any way, eclipse the loss of one.

[@PercyPruneMHDOIFandBars]

If you look at this group, you can clearly see who is the leader by the unconscious power she radiates. Shared values is what drove this crew and I have to say, although I don't share their Faith, I respect the heck out of them all. Knowing you have this captain in charge, would be the ultimate cure for fear of flying!

[@RMBlake007]

Percy Prune, I agree with your statement and am glad that you respect the Captain and Crew! I DO share their faith as a Bible believing Christian and can tell you that REAL Christians have that Peace and confidence in emergencies. I have been through several life/death situations where that "peace that surpasses all understanding" was with me through crisis and it was noticed by those around me. There are a LOT of FAKE Christians though and they do NOT have Peace and Love. Christ says that you "will know the Christians by their love." In viewing this interview I felt both of those characteristics in this Crew.

[@greyjay8744]

In addition, extensive crew training and crew resource management play a huge part in dealing with flight emergencies. Everyone knows what to do, and everyone takes a team approach to dealing with events. There are no cowboys in the air -- not in properly run airlines.

There were multiple hero's on board that day. From the two ladies seated next to the victim initial actions to attempt to save her to the two firefighters on board who got the victim back into the plane, one who received injuries when he had to stick his arm outside the aircraft to get her body back in, to the flight crew performing cpr among other actions.

[@lisalu910]

What an exceptional and amazing crew. Not only their professional skills, but their shared faith in God, as well as their genuine commitment to serving their passengers. The one death was a tragic loss to the victim's family, yet this crew managed to keep calm, do their jobs, and save the lives of everyone else on board. What an inspiration!

[@rileynatalie]

That was just so gross to keep pressing the question about fitting through the window!

[@BigBlueJake]

At this year's EAA Airventure, Tammie Jo was part of a panel group of female pilots speaking about their experiences and hopes for the future. Tammie Jo told a story illustrating how she found that the toughest things she had to face ended up being helpful later on. Apparently her first commanding officer was a good sport about women being allowed to fly Navy fighter jets, but the second one definitely was not. (The first women ended up being instructor pilots because, while they could fly fighters, they weren't allowed in combat squadrons until much later.) After a year of basic instructing, it was typical for pilots to upgrade to specific types of instruction like air-to-air, air-to-ground or carrier operations. I don't remember exactly what Tammie Jo wanted to upgrade into, but when she approached the CO, he said, "Girls can't do that!" and sent her away. The next week she approached him again and was told the same thing. The third week she approached him again. "You aren't going to quit bothering me, are you. Ok, you can do OCF." OCF was out of control flight - spins, stalls and any other unpleasant situations a fighter pilot needed to know how to get a plane out of to keep flying and fighting. Tammie dscribed how she had to teach classes of students these maneuvers, and calm most of them because of all the horrible stories they heard about the training. She wrapped up by sweetly (and dryly) adding, "That sure came in handy many years later!"
