A Southwest Airlines jetliner hit and killed someone as it landed at Austin's main airport Thursday night, authorities said.
The Federal Aviation Administration said the pilot of Flight 1392 reported seeing a person on the runway shortly after the Boeing 737 touched down at Austin-Bergstrom International Airport at 8:12 p.m. local time.
The carrier said the pilot maneuvered to try to avoid the person, whose identify wasn't immediately released.
The driver of an airport operations vehicle subsequently reported finding the person on the runway. Austin-Travis County Emergency Medical Services said its personnel pronounced the person, an adult, dead at the scene.

I agree, the pilot should have stepped on his brakes pronto. /s.
You joke, but greedy plaintiff lawyers are doubtless concocting lawsuits.
This wouldn’t have happened under 0bama.
Probably Harrison Ford heading for the terminal.
Damn! Yet another COVID-19 death. When will it end? /s
lol
DO NOT go play on the runway!
No, they were out of the cross walk.
Just think of it as trying to cross the track during
the Indy 500.
We had two grunts try to cross the runway at Chu Lai
needless to say...one of their M-14s was embedded in
the wheel well.
Looks like the guy caught his flight.
Wheel of Misfortune.
More like the flight caught him.

Shouldn’t play on train tracks either.
Judging from the damage to the cowling I’m surprised there’s much of him left.
What was he doing out there? How’d he get out there? Was his name Mohammad? Security has some “splainin” to do.
You bad!
... I was gonna go for a reference to the old Death Race movie with David Carradine where the old folks home doctors and staff put their patents out by the curb but then Frankenstein mows the staff down where they are hiding instead.
