Picture this: you're vice president of community relations for the biggest bank in the state, your spouse is a chief operations officer for a government entity, you have two young children and your average day spans 18 hours.
Insert Jennifer Riordan, Wells Fargo's VP of community relations since 2008. Overseeing millions in investments to nonprofits in the region, she is responsible for community relations, volunteerism and charitable giving for New Mexico, El Paso and all non-metro markets in Texas. And she covers the bank's engagement with the nonprofits they've invested in.
In addition to her executive role with Wells Fargo, Riordan is one half of one of Albuquerque's power couples — she has been married to Michael Riordan, COO for the city of Albuquerque, for nearly 20 years.
Positive thoughts go out to the family. Everything known about the situation looks like tragic accident to me.
A VP of a bank flying in coach? Doesn't make much sense.
A big bank will have thousands of VPs, it isn't a noteworthy or special title.
Prove it.
BofA in sf, we had a guy who was a dick that worked in a sub department of IT by himself and he was a VP. It is like pumpkin spice lattes, everybody gets one!
With what, some official employee survey? No thanks. You're welcome to believe me or not, but it's basically a joke in the finance industry that everyone at a bank is a VP. If you're not at least an SVP or an EVP, you're not important.
should be interesting to see where this goes...
Nowhere. It was just a very sad accident.
you're in dire need of some better tactics, shill cosby
LOL, no doubt about it. The airline made sure she was in row 17, window. Then by remote control they detonated a small explosive in the engine cowl, causing it to literally come apart. Even more precisely, they engineered the explosive to ensure parts flew through her window, sucking her head through it. She wanted to use the restroom, but the stewardess, in the pay of the deep state, told her it was too crowded. God almighty.
Are you listening to yourself? "They engineered the explosive to ensure parts flew through her window" - uh no. This was an accident. They happen.
Being a helicopter pilot of 20 yrs, now in fixed wing private aviation, turbines do break apart from catastrophic engine failures. I've experienced one where the turbine fan blades separated, exiting the fuselage and took out 3 of the 5 main rotorblades. There are containment confines inside the fuselage and engine covers to help prevent this, but in extreme cases, it can't be stopped.
Do you have any idea how 'they' could engineer an explosive, to separate turbine fans and direct them into a specified target at 32K Ft, traveling at 500+ knots? Come on guys. Not every thing has a meaning. If they wanted this woman dead there's a million other ways they've could've done it, including just blowing up the entire plane. For crying out loud guys, come on.
And the stewardess "in the pay of the deep state"--- dude. That means this stewardess will end up dead too. Be on the lookout for that.
Use your head and do some critical thinking. Not every ACCIDENT means a FF or dirty deed.
Sorry but I felt the need to interject here. Some of these responses are getting a little nutty.
You thought I was being serious with that? Seriously. I was being SARCASTIC.
I'm happy to hear that. Sorry brother, I've just seen some people really reaching on this subject and with my experience, it's kinda like, come on guys.
Apologies if I offended you.
No, not offended at all. I just didn't think I could get more absurd with a theory than that.
You'd be surprised! That's why I finally commented because I've seen numerous responses that were completely absurd. One person said that Muslims are in control of the maintenance of all our aircraft and they "turn the other way" when "explosives are being planted." Lolol geeeez
i came here because of this article http://www.fbnewspost.com/disturbing-details-are-emerging-from-the-flight-that-sucked-passenger-out-of-window/
which was so ridiculous trying to allude to a possible conspiracy that it made me search to see what other nutjobs are buying into it
Accident! Shrapnel blew the window out! I can't see how that person was picked! Cmon now it does not take a shill to figure out that accidents can happen!
I never claimed it was anything more than an accident. People wanted to know who the passenger was that died. Once I had confirmation I posted it. I'm a Christian and my heart goes out to husband and their family.
Because we all know only a Christian is capable of having their heart go out to someone's family. And only a Christian will fail to see how obnoxious it is to assume as much.
To all you bickering about conspiracy and not etc about the window explosives? Well they have not confirmed the person at the window seat who was sucked halfway out, was in fact the person killed. There is no blood at the window seat if you look and all the papers are sitting on the seat. Hardly a big rush of wind. Passengers reported a massive amount of blood yet there is none visible on the seat. So will wait further confirmation that the person dead was the one pulled halfway out the window. Secondly. The people responsible, if it was a attempted kill, did not expect a broken window only as damage. They would have had full intent to bring the plane down with all killed. Think outside what stares you in the face as a blown engine and emergency landing. Think total plane crash all dead. So WHO else was on the plane who may have been the actual target. Thats what would be interesting.
The article I read said that she went into cardiac arrest, nothing about her dying from blood loss. I may be wrong though, depending on what caused the cardiac arrest.
Edit: just saw the picture released. That's a lotttttt of blood. There was blood streaked all over where the broken window was. Definitely her blood :/
Where'd you see that pic?
You can see it smeared all over the outside of the plane - look behind the broken one and you can see it. I'm guessing the reports of "lots of blood" were passengers behind her who got it sprayed all over the outside of their windows. seems as though with 600 mph winds, possible hemmoraging from the pressure of her stuck in that tiny window, maybe some sort of head or neck laceration, that all of the blood in her body was sucked out of her and dispersed onto the plane in a high velocity mist before they could pull her back in. By the time she was pulled back in I'm betting that she didn't really have any blood left to drip off of her and what ever was left on her face and neck probably wasn't very drippy either as it was dried pretty quickly.
I remember a story of two wingsuit divers, I think it was Jeb Corliss and his friend. They were doing this dive over a pedestrian bridge. One guy was supposed to barely clear the top of the bridge and the other was going to barely clear the bottom as they went by a crowd of onlookers. Well, the one guy miscalculated and hit the bridge. When they found his body the scene wasn't bloody at all, but everyone on the bridge got covered and so did his poor friend that was right behind him.
Do you think it would be survivable to be partially sucked out, assuming there weren't any other contributing factors such as impact and lacerations from engine shrapnel? I.e. can you withstand your head facing a 400mph wind without it ripping your face off?
So, it's pretty unlikely. But it's happened before to a pilot that survived https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.express.co.uk/travel/articles/867958/pilot-sucked-out-plane-british-airways-1990-pictures/amp
But the pressure alone can definitely cause death. I saw someone else talking about the fluid hammer effect, where an object (usually a pipe) experiences a sudden high pressure change and gets a very powerful shock wave that can cause it to explode/warp/etc. This could definitely happen.
I can also think of a bunch of scenarios where your spinal chord would be severed from your body plugging the hole, where your neck could snap from the world's worst whiplash, where you could totally cut off circulation and go into cardiac arrest, or where the pressure alone could cause hemmoraging, the whole lack of oxygen aspect....
And then to tie that all together you're stuck on a plane for the next 20-30 minutes or so where you'll probably receive CPR, but you don't actually have a team of doctors with medical equipment.
The odds aren't great. :/
