The woman who was about to be sucked out of the window of a Southwestern Airlines plane and who landed an emergency on Tuesday has been identified as a 43-year-old executive and mother of two children.
Jennifer Riordan was one of 149 people aboard Flight 1280 traveling from New York to Dallas. The ship suffered the explosion of one of its engines 20 minutes after taking off from La Guardia airport.
After the accident, the plane landed in an emergency in Philadelphia and witnesses related the horrible scene of how the window next to the passenger's seat had exploded while other passengers were trying to save the woman. La Riordan later died in a local hospital from wounds caused by pieces of the plane that flew away.
According to the AP agency, the victim resided in Albuquerque, New Mexico and was on the way home when the accident occurred. Riordan was vice president of community relations for Wells Fargo, where she worked for a decade. "Jennifer's energy, passion, and love penetrated the community and reached across the country," the family said. "Her impact and the way she touched our lives can never be measured."

Her husband, Michael Riordan, published a heartfelt message in his memory through the GOFundMe.com page that he established in memory of his wife.
“[Jennifer was] an exceptional woman. Everyone loved her,”said the widower today, sharing a photo of the victim with his children, Avery and Josh Riordan and their cute puppy. “It was a brilliant light from this world. Losing Jen is a huge loss to the world. She would not have wanted her loss to be mourned, but her life celebrated. Let's keep her memory alive”, she concluded.
For their part, members of the National Transportation Security Bureau (NTSB) announced that the incident is already being investigated. "There is evidence of fatigue in a metal part of one of the blades that separated," said Robert Sumwalt, president of that body, about it. The experts will investigate the maintenance records of the Southwestern Airlines aircraft to determine the precise cause of the events.
