Jennifer Riordan, mother of 2 was killed in Southwest 737 Accident
Jennifer Riordan, a 43-year-old Wells Fargo executive, and mother-of-two from Albuquerque, New Mexico was named as the person who was killed after being sucked out of Southwest737 jet window when engine exploded at 32,000ft.

Passengers desperately scrambled to drag the banking executive back inside the aircraft and she was rushed to hospital immediately after hero pilot Tammie Jo Shults made an emergency landing at Philadelphia International Airport at 11.27am.

Riordan was returning from a business trip aboard the New York to Dallas flight when the plane's left engine exploded sending shrapnel flying into a window next to her seat.

Passenger Alfred Tumlinson, of Corpus Christi, Texas, said he saw a man in a cowboy hat rush forward a few rows 'to grab that lady to pull her back in. She was out of the plane. He couldn't do it by himself, so another gentleman came over and helped to get her back in the plane.

Another passenger, Eric Zilbert, an administrator with the California Education Department, said: 'From her waist above, she was outside of the plane.' Once she was back inside the plane, passengers plug up the hole where the window once was and they started to give Riordan CPR in an attempt to save her life.

Riordan, a graduate from the University of New Mexico, was heavily involved with her local community and volunteering. She managed Wells Fargo's community projects and its annual United Way Community Support Campaign.

Seven other people were injured in the incident.

The Boeing 737-700 was traveling at 32,500ft when the engine on the left side of the plane exploded.

Passengers said they heard a loud 'boom' and the plane immediately dropped, they said, by what felt like 100ft.  The woman sitting next to the smashed window was drawn towards it and others next to her held her down for 12 minutes until the plane landed.

the wife of former City of Albuquerque Chief Operations Officer Michael, was the vice president of community relations for Wells Fargo bank, New Mexico

Our Prayers go out to Mrs. Riordan and her family, may God watch over her and her family.
