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. The flight was en route from New York City to Dallas when the explosion happened, sending shrapnel into the side of the plane and shattering one of the windows. 。

But Captain Shults’ skills and experience forewarned her that an airplane flying that slowly with its flaps fully extended and with asymmetrical power could become fatally unstable in the final stage of the landing, so she used a minimal flap setting to maintain a higher speed and stability—taking the risk that the landing gear and particularly the tires could survive a higher speed impact.。And if you need even more evidence of Shults' superhuman, almost unfathomable ability to stay calm under terrifying circumstances, just revisit the audio of her communications with air traffic control.。
Passengers proclaimed Shults "an American Hero" and that, after the landing, Shults went through the plane, meeting and checking in on the other passengers. 。

which includes a blurb about Shults speaking on women fighter pilots and the "scrutiny" they faced: "It would be nice if they would take away the ceilings [women] have over our heads."。
She continued, speaking about her role in the Tactical Electronic Warfare Squadron (VAQ) 34, "In VAQ-34, gender doesn't matter, there's no advantage or disadvantage. Which proves my point -- if there's a good mix of gender, it ceases to be an issue." 。
