Photos of plane exterior on MSNBC show what appears to be one window at rear of, or just behind wing on left (port) side of plane virtually gone. Passengers describe "violent" depressurization, and one passenger partially ejected and pulled back by other passengers. A lot of liquid visible below and behind damaged engine, possibly fuel and/or fire suppressant from emergency response teams. PHL air traffic stopped for undetermined period.
