Clearly the pilot is at fault here for failing to yield for a pedestrian. /s

Nice change to the “suicide by cop” method. Suicide by pilot.
A little evasive action is fine but if I’m a pilot, I’m not going to cause a greater disaster by trying to swerve the plane. When you have to make that split-second decision, sometimes just plowing through what’s ahead is the only logical choice.

We laugh at this - but an unauthorized person on the runway (no ID, apparently not an airport worker)0 is a blatant breakdown in airport security and, worse, could be easily exploited by terrorists.

Next FAA directive: All planes must be equipped with a pedestrian alert warning system.

Maybe it was suicide by aircraft. When I was a tower controller, I looked out one day, and saw two dudes walking right down the middle of my runway. To a controller, the runway is sacred, and a controller gets highly displeased, when someone is on his runway. I gave USAF Security Police access to my runway, and they swooped down on these guys.

And yet boys & girls another wonderful object lesson in the world of:
M.P.S.
Mystery Physics Sh!t
Or 2 solid objects, can not occupy the same space, at the same time.
Also Tonnage right apply, as in a 200lb man occupying the (MPS) space reserved for a landing aircraft can not expect to stop a gazillion lb aircraft.
End result the aforementioned carbon unit (man) will become *DRT, and t, and t, and t.
*DRT = Dead Right There

Was the victim on his cell phone?
Maybe he didn’t hear a plane coming his way.
They can get awfully quiet once they have landed on the runway. Maybe we should install Beep-Beep horns in pilot cabinet.

Maneuvering a 737 at landing speeds would be a helluva trick!
Suicide by airliner?

I’ve always made it a point to avoid active airport runways...getting hit by a 787 can ruin your whole day!

Back in 1987 a hunter fired a round from a .30-30 Winchester model 74 and it penetrated the hull of a United Airlines flight as it was landing in Raleigh, NC.
A bullet pierced the aircraft's belly, ricocheted through the plane, a Boeing 737, and struck a thirty year old passagger, a passenger from Brooklyn. The bullet passed through the passengers thigh and lodged in his cheek.
Not sure how they located the hunter, but they did.

Sue the plane's manufacturer... Planes need safety devices to prevent a senseless tragedy in a situation like that...
Basically we need assault-plane laws and regulations...
