Listen to the liveatc feed. FO needs to b e nicknamed “Iceman.” Calmly says; “No, were not on fire, but part of the airplane is missing. They’re saying there’s a hole and a passenger went out.”
Awesome job. I would hope to be so calm.

Yeah, she sounded very cool and collected on the radio, very professional.

I've been trying to find the recordings of when they initially declared, but so far no joy.

Not funny. Southwest is a great airline. Good job to the crew.

I genuflect in the direction of this crew. Awesome job! I also commute on SWA a lot and am glad to see this kind of professionalism (not that I have ever doubted it one minute.)

As for the idiot taking the selfie, they should have been sucked out of the window for the sake of the human gene pool.

How do you go back and listen? I’d like to hear, but am unfamiliar with how live atc works.

Doesn't this seem awfully similar to SW3472 in Aug 2016? Uncontained left engine failure causing rapid decompression. Looks like that NTSB investigation is still open
