Southwest’s Boeing 737-700 that operated Flight 1380 that was fatal for one passenger earlier in April just left the city where it landed and flew to Paine Field (PAE) in Everett, Washington, on Monday. The flight path on Flight Aware shows the aircraft registered N772SW taking off Monday morning from Philadelphia (PHL), where it was forced to make an emergency landing after one of its engines exploded and sent shrapnel crashing through a window, killing Jennifer Riordan, 43.

According to the NTSB youtube report I watched, the containment ring did contain the broken blade, as you can see in any pictures, the whole fan section is visible, it was the bad vibration set up by the imbalance that broke the intake section of the nacelle off and sent pieces flying
I don't think so - it was one of the older 737-700s It was already 18 yrs old and according to https://www.planespotters.net/airframe/Boeing/737/N772SW-Southwest-Airlines/9nqwiajb it shows as being stored in Renton.
Plane was in Philadelphia. It flew to Seattle. Means it was in the air again. Pretty straightforward to me. If the article would have said in service again that would have been misleading.
Sparkie is right. The headline would be misleading to anyone not familiar with aviation or ferry flights. It kind of implies that the plane is just flying around again with missing pieces and stuff, back in service. Reading the article would prove otherwise, but then we all know lots of people don't read anything but headlines...and comments.
And there's also not a lot of info in this particular article either to further mislead folks. The engine was indeed replaced in PHL and now the plane is going to Boeing for further repairs and probably investigation. But this article says none of that - have to find that infor elsewhere. Poorly written, IMO.
