Plane that made emergency landing in Philadelphia flew out of Nashville before incident

The Southwest plane that made an emergency landing in Philadelphia and led to a passenger fatality Tuesday, flew from Nashville to New York Tuesday morning, according to flight records.

The Boeing 737-700 traveled from Nashville to LaGuardia Airport at 6:44 a.m. for Flight 2093 and landed at 9:23 a.m., Flightradar24, a global flight tracking service, says on its website.

The aircraft left from LaGuardia and was Dallas-bound on Flight 1380 when it made an emergency landing with a blown engine and smashed window.

Southwest Airlines did not respond to calls for comment. The Nashville International Airport said it did not have any information and deferred media inquiries to Southwest. The Federal Aviation Administration also deferred to Southwest.

One passenger died and seven were injured on Flight 1380 out of New York, carrying 143 passengers and a crew of five, Southwest said in a statement. The plane was met on the tarmac by a phalanx of emergency vehicles that quickly sprayed the area with safety foam and aided the injured.

Southwest said the Boeing 737-700 left LaGuardia shortly after 10:30 a.m. ET, bound for Dallas Love Field. The airport said the plane had landed "safely" and that passengers were being brought into the terminal. Details on what happened were not immediately released.

Sumwalt said the fatality was the first passenger death on a commercial U.S. airline since 2009. Philadelphia Fire Commissioner Adam Thiel said seven people suffered minor injuries.
