Friends and relatives are mourning a bank executive and mother of two from New Mexico who died after she was partially pulled out of an airplane when an engine blast caused a passenger’s window to burst.
Riordan was one of 149 people on board Southwest flight 1380, which took off from New York’s LaGuardia Airport en route to Dallas, on Tuesday, but made an emergency landing at Philadelphia International Airport after the jet blew an engine. The Boeing 737-700 was about 20 minutes into its journey when the engine burst, sending debris flying through the air and smashing one of the windows.
In an email to parents, assistant principal Amy McCarty wrote that “the family needs all the prayers we can offer.” Keller said Riordan's leadership and philanthropic efforts"made this a better place every day and she will be terribly missed."
