Jennifer Riordan, Wells Fargo vice president of Community Relations, died Tuesday when a Southwest Airlines jet's engine exploded midair.
Several media outlets, including KRQE and the Albuquerque Journal, confirmed Riordan was the passenger who died. She was transported to a hospital before her death.
The aircraft was en route from New York LaGuardia to Dallas Love Field, according to Southwest, when one of its engines exploded, shooting shrapnel and debris into the fuselage.
