Trump thanks Southwest Airlines heroes at White HouseFox News, May 1, 2018, Nicole Darrah
President Trump on Tuesday welcomed to the White House the heroic crew of Southwest Airlines Flight 1380 who safely landed the jet last month after one of its engines exploded mid-air, ultimately killing one passenger.
"The actions of the crew and passengers of Southwest Flight 1380 show the great character of our nation," Trump said from the Oval Office. "We're very, very proud of them and God bless you all."
The president thanked the five person crew, who he said "displayed exemplary leadership making an emergency landing in Philadelphia."
Captain Tammie Jo Shults, who's credited with managing to safely land the Boeing 737 at Philadelphia International Airport on April 17, was praised by Trump for the "incredible job" she did.
