An American Airlines flight from Colorado Springs to Dallas-Fort Worth made an emergency landing in Denver due to engine vibrations that escalated into a fire upon landing. All 178 aboard evacuated successfully, though 12 individuals suffered minor injuries. The NTSB is investigating the incident, with recordings revealing a tension-filled progression from routine landing communication to a Mayday call about an engine fire. Eyewitness videos depicted passengers using emergency slides and evacuating through thick smoke as flames developed behind them. A replacement aircraft ensured passengers reached Dallas shortly after the incident.
The prompt evacuation of passengers from the plane, which caught fire after landing, showcased the effectiveness of emergency protocols during in-flight emergencies.
We thank our crew members, Denver International Airport personnel, and first responders for their assistance in evacuating the aircraft safely.
