ATOOC: Broken Blades over New Orleans

Air Traffic Out Of Control - A podcast by Amy Tango Charlie Media

In this episode, we fly down to New Orleans where a Southwest Boeing 737 is taking off, bound for Tampa, Florida. Almost immediately after takeoff the pilot radios the tower declaring an emergency. The aircraft has suffered a major bird strike which has disabled the left engine. The strike was so severe that several blades on the engine were destroyed.
