Southwest Airlines Engine Failure Results In First Fatality On US Airline In 9 Years (heavy.com)
schwit1 shares a report from Heavy: Tammie Jo Shults is the pilot who bravely flew Southwest Flight 1380 to safety after part of its left engine ripped off, damaging a window and nearly sucking a woman out of the plane. The flight was en route to Dallas Love airport from New York City, and had to make an emergency landing in Philadelphia. Shults, 56, kept her cool during an incredibly intense situation, audio from her conversation with air traffic controllers reveals, while many passengers posted on social media that they were scared these were their last moments. She, with the help of the co-pilot and the rest of the crew, landed the plane safely. The NTSB reported that there was one fatality out of 143 passengers on board. Some passengers said that someone had a heart attack during the flight, but it's not yet known if this was the fatality reported by the NTSB. The woman who died has been identified by KOAT-TV as Jennifer Riordan, 43, of Albuquerque, New Mexico.

Was the pilot a woman? It isn't clear from your summary. Maybe you should have pointed it out a few more times to make sure nobody missed it.
Well of course he knows. Q is omnipotent. I'm just puzzled why he's here in 2018 instead of messing with Starfleet officers in the future.
It's because Nero changed future history, and Picard is now (or rather will be) the sexy counsellor on the USS GaySulu.
Of course news about a fake are Fake News.
