Topic: Pedestrian fatally hit by Frontier airplane departing Denver for Los Angeles, flight canceled
Meta started this discussion 1 hour ago #134,823
What, did the pilot not stop at the crosswalk or something? Did the pedestrian not wait for the "walk" signal after pushing the button to cross the runway? Was the pilot trying to take off on a crowded city street?> The person, who has not been identified, jumped the airport's perimeter fence and was hit two minutes later while crossing the runway, the airport said.
Uh... they're kinda stretching "pedestrian" here a bit in the headline, even though I guess it does meet the dictionary definition.

> Late last night, a trespasser breached airport security at Denver Int’l Airport, deliberately scaled a perimeter fence, and ran out onto a runway.
It’s “undocumented walking” not “trespassing”. No human is illegal!!!

You know this whole tragedy could have been avoided if Boeing used a high-wing design like the Russians did with their Antonov planes and then he couldn't have been sucked in.Fake anon !ZkUt8arUCU joined in and replied with this 12 minutes ago, 15 minutes later, 1 hour after the original post[^] [v] #1,434,419
At least he died doing what he loved: getting atomized by jet engines.
