On Saturday 15 September 2001, TAM Flight 9755, a Fokker 100 scheduled domestic passenger flight carrying 88 passengers and six crew, departed Recife/Guararapes–Gilberto Freyre International Airport for São Paulo/Guarulhos International Airport. During the flight, the plane suffered an uncontained engine failure. Fragments of the engine shattered three cabin windows, causing decompression and blowing the passenger in seat 19E partly out of the plane. Another passenger held the passenger in until the aircraft landed, but the passenger blown out of the window did not survive.
Aftermath
TAM said in an official response that it will provide "all assistance to the victim's family, as well as to other passengers, including medical and psychological care."
Aircraft
The aircraft was a Fokker 100 with the registration number PT-MRN. The aircraft was repaired and returned to service.
