Good example of why ARFF often follows the plane to the gate, even after a normal landing!
Statement from the FAA on this evening's American 737 engine fire in Denver:
American Airlines Flight 1006 diverted to and landed safely at Denver International Airport around 5:15 p.m. local time on Thursday, March 13, after the crew reported engine vibrations. After landing and while taxiing to the gate an engine caught fire and passengers evacuated the aircraft using the slides. The Boeing 737-800 departed Colorado Springs Airport and was headed to Dallas Fort Worth International Airport. The FAA will investigate.

Checked in right at 24 hours prior to my @SouthwestAir flight and got C 37! Then realized flying from Nashville to New Orleans the day before the biggest weekend of jazz fest might be just a little full…. 🛫🥁🎺🎪

Seems like some basic information like this would go a long way to prevent some of the panic hoarding of water we’ve seen… Not sure why it’s so difficult to get realistic, accurate information to the public these days…
Speaking of the saltwater thing, this is from 1988, The Times-Picayune. I figured it would be helpful.

Boeing employee bought lottery ticket because it was at $747M, a nod to the aircraft. She won the jackpot. q13fox.com/news/boeing-emplo…

Crazy afternoon waiting in lines at ATL but guess I should just be glad we made our flight and didn’t fly Southwest this trip…
