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.

how are you not able to see and get out of the way of a landing plane? 😐

The pilot got the plane’s Kentucky windage just right.

I read the thread title and thought the person landing the plane died.

I'm sorry, I'm bad at starting threads and won't attempt it again.

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.

Dude didn't understand what it meant to catch a plane. 

I thought everyone knew.

Heard radio traffic on klbj where they say they have a confirmed dead human death by catastrophic injury or some shit. Thought it was the pilot but maybe was ems

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.

That was, uh, well, uhhh, I don't think he suffered.

Need a Zamboni for that clean up.

Austin just lets the homeless camp anywhere, nowadays.

Hey, you scratched my engine!

 

If you’ve ever hit a hitchhiker deer with a corner of your car, either their legs or head/upper torso will swing back and hit the side of your car.

What security? A chain link fence?

Junin Ko

Did they find a camera with telephoto lens? Probably doesn’t need the neck strap anymore. Let’s see that film/SD card. Could be fun.

lucky for you that Fitlump is going to fix that, and all the other problems for Austin. 
 

I know it was a Southwest flight.... but maybe the pilot was Korean?

Was he possibly a squat cobbler?

Assking for a friend?

Junin Ko had a Public Intoxication  charge in Austin last year.

Looks like he lived with his family in Circle C.

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?
