On April 17, Capt. Tammie Jo Shults successfully landed a Southwest Airlines plane in an emergency.
The plane's left engine exploded mid-flight, causing a passenger window to shatter and the cabin to depressurize.
One passenger, Jennifer Riordan, was killed.
Shults gives her first interview this Friday on 20/20.
In a clip for the episode, Shults says her first thought during the chaos was, "Oh, here we go."
