Interesting that APD Homicide is the lead investigative unit.

Also pretty fucking big indictment against ABIA security that someone could be on the fucking runway during operations and they didn't know it.

I imagine they have downscaled staff in order to avoid going bankrupt.

I guess that's good information for a terrorist to know that they can take down entire planes of people if there is a pandemic occurring and airports need to save money.

Meh.  Thus far they haven't really needed to be on the runway to accomplish that.  Anything they could do to an airplane from the runway they could do from the public viewing area most airports have right outside the fence under the final, other than getting clipped by one and killing themselves of course.

The deceased wasn’t a badged, authorized airport employee in the wrong  place at the wrong time, so just a helluva effective suicide?

AUSTIN, Texas — After a man was hit and killed by a Southwest Airlines flight on the runway at Austin’s airport on Thursday night, the security of the airport perimeter is under scrutiny.

On Friday, airport officials confirmed the man who was struck by the landing flight did not have a badge, meaning he was unauthorized to be on the secure side of the airport – and much less near an active runway.

There were several drunk idiots running around on the runway at old Mueller Airport in 1969 when the Horns’ charter flight returned from the Game of the Century in Arkansas. About 10,000 more were literally swarming all over & on top of the open concourse and parking apron  when the plane taxied up outside the terminal. Scared the bejesus out out DKR when he came halfway down the rear airstair & then ran back in the plane. Lol

One of the most awesome raucous scenes/events in Longhorn history.

We went to the airport to welcome home the champions, I was four years old.

Crazily, that sailor survived with relatively minor injuries.  

The Continental mechanic in ELP did not.

He most certainly didn’t. The pics are .....well.........,definitive.

Want to see, but don't want to see.

Nasty business.

 

Unfortunately for you I have your phone number. Stand by. Pictures inbound. 
 

The airline referred to it as a “ground incident”. That’s as accurate as it gets.

Junin a world of hurt.

Too much So-Ko if you ask me!

He got all the LUV, from a shove, from ABOVE!.

I mean, it’s K.O. For Mr. Ko.

 

Anyone? No? Is this thing on?
