Frontier plane strikes person on Denver runway

Joe Darkmoon33

You make it sound like the plane failed to yield at a crosswalk.

🔞Neph, Changeling Fucker Supreme22

If this implies what I think it does this is some final destination type shit. What a terrible way to go.

tellnolies.bsky.social21

The plane was leaving the airport…not the pedestrian who jumped the fence and was running across the tarmac when struck by the plane during takeoff. AI driven headlines suck.

mwilk19.bsky.social13

If you're walking across an active runway you're not a pedestrian you're a trespasser. Say a prayer for the people who are going to have to clean that mess up.

MerMer 🇺🇸13

I'd like to how someone got out there. I know DIA. It my local airport. I have never seen anybody on the ground unless they work for one of the airlines. You can't even step out onto a balcony for a cigarette at DIA like you could at Stapleton.

Veterans Against Trump11

There is no such thing as a "pedestrian" on an active runway. The term you're looking for is "trespasser".

Be Rushing10

Trying to hold the pilot in my heart he/she must be inconsolable. Thoughts for the injured passengers too and the family of the person killed as well as the actual person. Bad bad day.peace to all concerned.

@actfortransit.bsky.social media framing seems a bit challenged with this crash.

How many more disasters do we have to accept from incompetent transportation secretary, Sean Duffy?

factsonly007.bsky.social7

Pedestrian???? I think your headline is jacked

citizenbunce.bsky.social6

Well if I’d just been killed by a plane I’d leave the airport too, sheesh.

K M, MBA - Doctoral Candidate5

Don't worry, the transportation secretary was on faux news focusing on promoting his new series about his 7 month long family vacation around the US being generously paid for by the tax payers. #Fuckyouduffy

PMG5

Traveling will get you broke and dead now. Stay home people.

L D Mansker, PhD (TulsaGal)5

Don't care if he's an airport employee. I need to know how and why he was on the runway, to get killed like that.

EuphoricFuzion🕯️5

And what about that engine fire on the same plane?? Did the pedestrian hit and killed have anything to do with that? What a bizarre story!

Age Garton5

You say “pedestrian crossing the runway” like that’s what we all do - like it’s normal. It isn’t. People don’t walk on runways. The person was trespassing.

GREAT JOB Transportation SEAN DUFFY. YOU ARE FUCKING A DISGRACE

Mary4

Suicidal person hops fence and runs at oncoming plane to get sucked into the jet engine. There, use a REAL headline FFS.

Victor144033

Oh, here's a big smooth road, I wonder where this goes?

mnlib69.bsky.social3

How could someone have known it was a bad idea to walk out onto a jet runway— aside from all the fences and signs I mean. 🙆🏻‍♂️🚩

jimbo1216.bsky.social3

Guess he won't take a walk on the runway anymore.

MerelyMollie🇺🇸🇺🇦🇨🇦🇬🇱3

All I know is we never had airliners killing pedestrians when Pete Buttigieg was Sec. of Transportation.

End MAGA3

Why is it we read about a person dying, but never the one we want dead?

Democratic Free Press2

No fear Duffy is on a 7 month long vacation

David P. Hughes2

So? the "pedestrian" was an "intruder"?

Teri Cloth 🇺🇸 🇨🇦 🇺🇦 🦋 🫘2

So they were a 3rd party employee or a customer. This is just gobbly gook.

Dalton2

I assume the late pedestrian was not walking in a clearly marked crosswalk across the runway.

jon2

Identified? At that power setting and speed he was ground into human hamburger….

galaxydreams70.bsky.social2

Probably a wayward Kansan lost on the prairie.

connie2

the group of passengers closely inspecting the turbine?

MJ11

The thing is, he’s doing the job Trump wanted him to do; Nothing

Antifa Princess™🗿💖🌻⛵️✨10

No, 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 fight6

Sean 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.

Lollioness5

In the four years that Secretary Buttigieg ran the Department of Transportation, every single airliner that took off in the U.S. landed safely without killing anyone, even the plane that lost a door in midflight. Just sayin’.

Sloane Peterson2

Sean Duffy’s in his sprinter van playing road rules on our dime

How can that even happen?

I’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.

What was a person doing on the runway?

CamRodriguez9

It's always a good idea to look both before crossing a runway.

abarcks.bsky.social8

I’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.”

Steed & Peel 237

First question from Secretary Duffy: Was the person dressed in pajamas or a suit?

#0peration Red House5

Suicide by jumping into the intake of a jet engine ?

sanne27.bsky.social5

It is already on the internet. Someone walking across the runway. Crazy!

anericgage.bsky.social5

Well 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.

SD4

Anyone else think that since a dumbfuck reality tv bozo took over responsibility for airline safety things have been, not safe?

livelongnprosper.bsky.social4

It’s ok, Duffy is making a reality show about driving across the country

Call me May, b3

I need some perspective: are incidents like this happening more and more or is it just being reported on more? Because I feel crazy.

iam-s-Hon3

WTAF Did they use AI to write this? What news outfit other than an evangelist one refers to passengers as “souls” in their reporting? Sloppy. 🙄

Carol3

It's Biden's and Buttigieg's fault

Emmogene 🇨🇦 🇺🇸3

Duffy will be MIA until it's time to appear on the news and blame Biden.

Paul McDougal2

Banana republic gonna banana republic. Gut everything. Remove figurative and literal guardrails and let the circus commence. At least we footed the bill for the transport secretary’s family to take a seven month road trip. Priorities seem straight.

~<《🅕🅛🅨》>~2

Come to America, fly and watch the World Cup, don't worry about ICE arresting you or our dangerous fight handling or being ripped off with sky-high prices.

Annie2

Apparently walking on a runway isn’t such a good idea. Put since critical thinking left the room since trump was elected, I guess the pedestrian was definitely not using the stuffing between their ears.

ElisaStewartEsq2

And Duffy’s been on a road trip.

ShannyDaw31

Pedestrian? And whoever wrote this gets paid to do it.

myedison.bsky.social23

There’s no pedestrian paths on runways.

9999 Damage18

Engine fire presumably means the intruder got sucked in. Yeesh.

The Babysitter17

There is no circumstance where the word “pedestrian” is correct here.

Ferrix Rebel16

I don't think pedestrian is the correct word. It isn't like the pilot ran a red light.

TheSnarkTank12

Good thing the secretary of transportation spent the last 7 months filming a reality tv show.

Vivian Woo7

The use of "pedestrian" feels intentionally ambiguous to generate clicks. Totally different context if this was a ground crew member instead of a trespasser.

Anya Taylor-Misery6

I'm too tired for this right now, AP

Baja Arizona. We fight on.6

Not sure "pedestrian" is the correct word to use here. Maybe Sean Duffy can explain.

215 Pounds on the Moon, in 1/6 Gravity, Maybe.5

Translation: passenger sucked into engine. Causes fire. No one wants to say it.

Have you considered a career that doesn't require the precise use of words or the comprehension of their meaning?

Bluesky Misspelling Enjoyer3

TIL I must walk only on sidewalks or across streets - places near the all-important car, the most important being on Earth. Otherwise I’m not really a pedestrian.

Brustie3

You're all so annoying ffs

James Fuller3

And this is why we need to remove pedestrian crosswalks from all airport runways.

Geddy Flea2

There are no pedestrians on active runways.

Magnus G. Singleton2

This is proof that it pays off to look both ways before crossing the runway. The same applies to school crossings and other byways and highways. People cross super busy divided freeways in cities. It’s frequently a bad idea.

He/Him Resist! Freedom, love and prosperity for all.2

Let's see that bitch Sean Duffy blame Biden for this. Yet another plane accident under that unqualified toadies' watch.

Ed2

Trying to remember who fired all the security personnel. Sure seems to be a lot of safety incidents under his supervision....oh wait....he's on road trips

avocatte.bsky.social2

Hopped the fence after 11 p.m. to walk across a live runway. Dramatic way to do suicide, but other folks were injured and someone had to pay for passengers' hotel etc. Selfish.

Violet Says Abolish ICE2

Why was there a pedestrian on the runway tho

Raya Hutia Ambulabu ᘛ⁐̤ᕐᐷ🥥🦜🪶 (FREE BILL KEZOS)2

Trespasser, not pedestrian. Y'all will exonorative case every cop on earth but will call a person trespassing a pedestrian.

cmcnutt.bsky.social2

What was he doing walking on the runway? Was he an airline employee?

Donkey Jote9

Pedestrian? Odd choice of words.

KerryCornelius8

Strange way to check out. As we have all seen lately, too many people are losing their minds with the state of our world. Please Check in. Socialize with others. Be kind. Offer to listen to others problems. Sadly it will not always work with mentally broken people, but at least you tried.

hypertazdad.bsky.social6

I’m guessing there were no trains nearby. Sad but sounds like a suicide.

Daffy6

You keep calling this person a pedestrian, I don't think that word means what you think it means.

Craig Bruce 💚💙2

Airports have a fence around them for a reason. It’s a felony to jump the fence for a reason. A number of reasons. If you survive, these are the charges you may face, (and a possible designation on a No-Fly list) enjoy:

Sarah Ewy10

Let me know if I should start driving out to the airport, what does she need??

Pirate Wench Art (The Pizza Boombah)4

Oh 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.

Freilauf4

Horrific event. I hope she didn't have to see much of the aftermath, that could potentially be a very traumatic experience.

Kainoa2

omg 😳 I hope they’ll be ok

Debrianna Mansini-I’m Spartacus2

Wow- that’s terrible! Hope she’s ok as well as everyone else ♥️

putawomanincharge.bsky.social2

Honest to God, Sean Duffy is a total idiot. He fled my State. For Fox News. He is only good at having like 12 kids

Sue3

Great to see the safety of flying in the States has significantly increased with the removal of DEI staff.

Fleetlife2

Yikes. Poor soul🙏. They must have been in a lot of pain. Sadly I think we are heading for a ride in deaths by suicide
