Frontier plane strikes person on Denver runway
A Frontier Airlines Airbus A321 bound for Los Angeles struck and killed a person on a Denver International Airport runway during takeoff Friday, forcing the crew to abort the takeoff. The impact ignited an engine fire and prompted an emergency passenger evacuation as fire and rescue crews responded. The Federal Aviation Administration and National Transportation Safety Board opened investigations into the incident. The fatal strike raises immediate questions about runway perimeter security and could prompt changes to airport operations and safety procedures.
Soooo… A Frontier Airlines plane hit a person on the runway of Denver International Airport upon takeoff. Perhaps that guy from The Real World, Sean Duffy, should be spending less time hyping his 7 month road trip and more time doing his actual job.
mickee7.bsky.social8United clips a truck on approach to Newark, Delta employee dies on the job when a tug vehicle hits a jet bridge in Orlando, Frontier flight hits a person on the runway in Denver--all within the past few days. At least one horrific aviation disaster per day seems to be Duffy's new FAA standard.
MJ8The thing is, he’s doing the job Trump wanted him to do; Nothing
Antifa Princess™🗿💖🌻⛵️✨8No, no, no, it’s Joe Biden’s fault. Don't worry, it's coming. We had an Amtrak train crash in NC the other day, and two people die after being hit by two different trains on Thursday and Friday. I haven't seen any reporting on those. They were also Joe Biden’s fault. He was at the beach. 🙄
This is why we fight6Sean Duffy, out there filming Road Rules; Waste, Fraud, and Abuse edition, is way too busy to be bothered with collisions that are most definitely Joe's fault. Or do we just blame Pete? I can't keep up with who's actually responsible for Sean's real job anymore.

BREAKING: A Frontier Airlines flight departing Denver International Airport for Los Angeles appeared to strike a person on the runway Friday, an aviation source briefed on the incident told ABC News. Fire crews were dispatched to the aircraft to extinguish the engine fire.
Veterans Against Trump20Wait, they hit a person walking on an active runway AND had an engine fire? Sounds like that person got sucked into the aircraft engine.
Michelle likes democracy.18I’m not getting near an airport. Though, under the Trump regime, that still doesn’t mean I’m not going to randomly get run over by a plane.
Skye Rosling 🇨🇦9What was a person doing on the runway?
CamRodriguez7It's always a good idea to look both before crossing a runway.
Diana tc6The article includes details that are being asked about in comments. The answers are in the article if you Read The Article
Steed & Peel 236First question from Secretary Duffy: Was the person dressed in pajamas or a suit?
sanne27.bsky.social4It is already on the internet. Someone walking across the runway. Crazy!
anericgage.bsky.social4Well it's a good thing Sean Duffy spent months making a new reality show. I'm sure right wing media would never make an issue of it were Buttigieg still the transportation secretary and collisions kept happening on runways.
livelongnprosper.bsky.social4It’s ok, Duffy is making a reality show about driving across the country
SD3Anyone else think that since a dumbfuck reality tv bozo took over responsibility for airline safety things have been, not safe?
#0peration Red House3Suicide by jumping into the intake of a jet engine ?
abarcks.bsky.social2I’m sorry but what the FUCK are we doing at airports “The person was at least partially consumed by one of the engines, an official confirmed to ABC News, causing a brief engine fire that was extinguished by firefighters.”
ElisaStewartEsq2And Duffy’s been on a road trip.
Emmogene 🇨🇦 🇺🇸2Duffy will be MIA until it's time to appear on the news and blame Biden.
A Frontier Airlines plane hit and killed a pedestrian on the runway of the Denver International Airport during takeoff, airport authorities said, sparking an engine fire and forcing passengers to evacuate.
Da Sparrow20The word you’re looking for is intruder, not pedestrian
ShannyDaw16Pedestrian? And whoever wrote this gets paid to do it.
myedison.bsky.social8There’s no pedestrian paths on runways.
TheSnarkTank5Good thing the secretary of transportation spent the last 7 months filming a reality tv show.
Ferrix Rebel5I don't think pedestrian is the correct word. It isn't like the pilot ran a red light.
215 Pounds on the Moon, in 1/6 Gravity, Maybe.2Translation: passenger sucked into engine. Causes fire. No one wants to say it.

Baja Arizona. We fight on.2Not sure "pedestrian" is the correct word to use here. Maybe Sean Duffy can explain.
cmcnutt.bsky.social2What was he doing walking on the runway? Was he an airline employee?
Any Denver friends online right now? My daughter in law and granddaughter were on a frontier flight to LA that never made it off the ground after it hit someone on the runway and blew the engine. I may need someone to get some things to her if they don’t get belongings off the plane.
Paul Jankura16I read this and thought “Surely she doesn’t mean the plane hit a person“ but then I listened to the ATC audio and that sounds horrific.
Sarah Ewy9Let me know if I should start driving out to the airport, what does she need??
Freilauf4Horrific event. I hope she didn't have to see much of the aftermath, that could potentially be a very traumatic experience.
Pirate Wench Art (The Pizza Boombah)3Oh dear lord. I will keep a good thought that they don't get traumatized over this. Let them know plenty of us are thinking of them.
