A woman died yesterday after being partially sucked out of a Southwest airplane mid-flight. It was the first fatality for a US airline in nine years, and it occurred after the plane's engine exploded, which caused depressurization. 

Getting sucked out of a plane is no doubt a nightmare to probably everyone on Earth, so Verge reporter Rachel Becker figured out why this happens. Is there a "safe" seat? (Not really.) (Sorry.)
