As we learn more about Tuesday's deadly explosion on a Southwest plane that killed one person and injured several others, we're also learning more about the heroes in the story, particularly the pilot who managed to land the plane despite the blown-out engine.。
SEE ALSO:Terrifying images emerge after Southwest plane makes emergency landing。The pilot has been identified as Captain Tammie Jo Shults, who, it turns out, was a certifiable badass before she guided her Southwest 737 plane to an emergency landing in Philadelphia.
