Because President Trump laid them all off? This needs to be fart checked.
You can hear the pilot or first officer say no emergency to the tower and was nonchalant. It was a women’s voice. Was there a connection because the crew member was a woman and why wouldn’t you declare an emergency?
The reason the passengers evacuated out onto the wing is because the person sitting by the wing door saw the fire, opened the door and got the hell out and everyone else followed him.
Well duh, thy are for emergency exit and everybody made it out. It would be nice to point that out.
P.S. The seats at those exits have decent economy class leg room too.
I worked ARRF for 8 years at Alliance airport in Fort Worth. We could be at almost any point on the field within 3 minutes of being called even from a dead sleep. If they weren’t there…they weren’t called out.
i have visited and lived in some different places but CO has some of the laziest, lame inexoerienced and workers on the planet, on par with Africa.
I am almost afraid to even get my tires changed here, I have to recheck the torque and take it back a few times to get the balnce done right, this may be a nationwide trend with this generation
“The problem with the DEI fire was that the jetway hadn’t been pulled up to the aircraft yet,” Feith said.”
Why am I not surprised?
So it was the girl pilot saying no emergency that caused the lack of fire response.
I’m having a hard time with the pictures of those passengers standing on the wing of a plane that is on fire. The wing where in unknown thousands of gallons of jet fuel is stored.
This would have been an horrific event had the fire made it to that wing . . .
Sigh. Jet aircraft buyers, jet aircraft makers, jet engine makers . . . all trying to squeeze by . . . using synthetic (non-metal-alloy) “composite” fan and turbine blades.
It’s Denver, for goodness sake...
Why any big surprise at a normal Denver CF?
I remember visiting the tower, in days gone by, when ATC used binoculars to observe every arriving and departing aircraft . . . in addition to using other tools for "observing" and managing arrivals and departures.
This is completely inexcusable.
I have small, inexpensive cameras all around my house - so I know what's going on at all times. Isn't the safety of the passengers worth the investment?
Just a quick read-thru of the article and it sounds like nobody is really at fault and everything went as it should given the circumstances. There was no fire until they pulled up at the gate and so no emergency was declared. The wing exit was the best way out due to the heat and smoke at the other exits.
