She's lucky and so is the whole plane load. Those blades can destroy the whole aircraft just like shrapnel from a missile. Hope the girl is okay.

One of the passengers is dead

Reported that this is the first death of a passenger on a U.S. airline since 2009? Still sounds like a total nightmare, but I do find it quite amazing that the investigators will be able to pinpoint to the minute detail what occurred. I know cowlings have failed but this seems like something internal gave out. I wont speculate, but would love anyone here with experience to possibly summize.

Looks like a fan blade broke off according to the NTSB.
