WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The U.S. National Transportation Safety Board said Tuesday it will meet to determine the probable cause of the April 2018 engine failure of Southwest Airlines (N:LUV) flight 1380 that killed a passenger who was partially sucked out the window.
It said it would meet on Nov. 19.
The accident airplane, a Boeing 737-700 (N:BA) powered by two CFM International CFM56-7B engines, experienced a failure of the left engine after departing New York’s LaGuardia Airport, when a fan blade failed. The plane diverted to Philadelphia International Airport and eight other passengers suffered minor injuries.
