The prior incident was due to an impact with a particularly hard chunk of metal.

I was referring to OP's post topic about the cracked outer window layer; not the engine failure which clearly was a separate issue.

You mentioned loss of cabin pressure, which did not occur in the OP's incident.

True. But a window failure could lead to a loss of pressure.

Maybe I should clarify that I was lumping all those failures together into a "airframe hull failure" in my mind. So, window cracks in one and pressure losses in another could be a related maintenance issues or design flaws; but an engine failure is clearly a separate issue and the damaged window was just a result of that engine failure. We'll just have to wait to find out what caused the recent pressure loss incident.

Not Southwest, and it's a new week, but:Link

how does someone not get sucked out? Cruising speed is not that far from Mach 1.0.

That's what seat belts are for

.... and I thought we were supposed to "Wear out seat belts even though the Captain has turned off the fasten seat belt light," just because of turbulence.

...the more the payload in the back appears and behaves like well packed sardines, the happier the airline is, especially the cabin crew.

"just because of turbulence"

Well, a blow window is a sort of turbulence...
