Nerves of steel...
Tammie Jo Schults, the pilot who flew the stricken Southwest plane to safety yesterday.
The pilot's voice was calm yet focused as her plane descended with 149 people on board, Samanthan Schmidt reports on washingtonpost.com.
"Southwest1380, we're single engine." said Tammie Jo Schults, a former fighter pilot with the U.S. Navy, according to Schmidt.
"We have part of the aircraft missing, so we're going to need to slow down a bit," Schmidt added.
She asked for medical personnel to meet her on the runway. "We've got injured passengers," Schmidt noted.
