I'm get the impression the person who died was the woman who got struck by shrapnel. I don't think anyone got sucked out of the plane or even was in real danger of being sucked out.



Did you read the article? A woman's half body was sucked out of the plane. A witness even commented that her head and arm were "out of the plane".


The article has since been updated with many additional accounts and details. Previously these seemed like two potentially different individuals:

Another passenger, Marty Martinez, said that a female flier suffered a heart attack in the chaos.

“Someone on the plane had a heart attack, and it looks like an engine blew out, then a window was blown open,” he said on Facebook. “We are still on the plane and they are trying to revive a woman on the plane.”
