"If it's Boeing, I'm not going."
I was on a flight that made and emergency landing once, it was TERRIFYING. The pilot circled once then we went down at a very steep angle.
What was even worse was the three days we were stranded in Gander Newfoundland while they fixed the plane and then flew in a new crew. It was basically an refueling/military base and not a real airport, no food or facilities. After that I never flew without my toothbrush, change of clothes and contact solution in my carry on.

Especially if this happened because they left the anti-icing system on too long.

The pictures clearly show that the seat is still there.
It also wasn't a window... that's a plug for an unused emergency exit location. Planes have spots in the fuselage where emergency exits can be placed if the aircraft is configured with enough seats where it needs more exits. This one wasn't, so instead of an emergency exit, there's a plug bolted into the spot instead. Would have to guess that there was a defect in this one though...
