FFT4345 DEN 5/8

So, did the CA brief something to the extent of "soylent green feedstock in #2, watch out for goo on the runway"; or did they just keep to the script for an evac? Because if they did an standard evac, folks might not know what had fodded the engine, heck the crew might not have been all that sure. Now they should have moved away, because why stand anywhere near the plane you just bailed out of, but I'm not sure they knew just what they were looking at.

The backpack OTOH, that's a reason to ridicule....

Crew knew.
:31 for the "UUGH"

Airline people:
If an engine is suspected or actually ON fire, does the evac occur on the non-fire side?

Why are all the pax milling around the engine of the jet? Just rubbernecking?

Orange vest person not corralling them up to a containment area in the infield grass or anything?

and anyone dragging their rolly with them gets a shot of pepper spray to the face and told to stumble to the end of the line

Let me emphasize my disdain for passenger gawkers.

Captain: "We're evacuating because a person went through the engine and the engine is on FIRE (giving a fire warning)

Passengers: "Let's get a selfie with a (possibly) burning engine with Human Salsa inside!!"

(not to mention the bio-hazard nightmare of blood born pathogens and likely enough meth (fentanol) to kill millions of LEO's)

It's possible everyone inside breathed a little bit of the engine intruder into their lungs

And will probably sue Frontier for that possibility. Am sure the ambulance chasers have already mobilized .

The people milling around near the engine will sue Frontier for now being traumatized, because Frontier didn’t keep them away from the engine.
 
I remember a jumpseat brief I got one time. Mostly the usual stuff, but the CA briefed me in the event of an evac I was to get out asap, run away 100 yards in the safest direction, turn and start waving my hands and yelling "EVERYBODY COME HERE!".

We’re living in a simulation.

It's like an Airbus with Boeing windows.

Also •ed-up that there are shadows and reflections from the cowcatchers on the fuselage in the render.

We all know that bird ingestion to the bleeds/pack smells like chicken.

What did this smell like?

One report said there was smoke in the cabin. I've said consistently that I've never worked on an airliner. Would the packs be running on engine bleed air during takeoff? Again I have no idea how these jets work, on some airplanes I've worked on the bleeds shut off when the airplane thinks it's taking off and open again once it thinks it's airborne.

Most modern aircraft have enough power to run the packs via the engines during takeoff. A few places have a policy of not (for the reduction in fuel/strain on the engines) but it's pretty rare because of the increase in passenger comfort.

In my experience, which is no where near being considered the “authority”, generally you would have packs on during take off, and if needing a more performance running packs from APU is often an option. That would reduce the bleed load and improve thrust. All depends on how the manifold is plumbed.
 
The hoi polloi have no idea that if it’s urgent enough to get out of an airplane, you probably don’t want to be anywhere *near* it once you’re out. Fire, explosions, noxious fumes, response vehicles, etc.

But then, so many of us eat paint chips, sniff glue and take life advice from TikTok.
