FFT4345 DEN 5/8

[arkavgal]

I saw something earlier today that said KDIA has a 53 square mile footprint. It's bigger than some cities and it was built away from people on purpose so wildlife would be an issue, not to mention it's supposed to be a secure area so tall fences and thermal cameras don't seem far fetched. It's almost 25 miles of fence line to monitor and secure. People are smart and where there's a will there's a way. I'm unsure of a better option unless you want to create a DMZ around airports with manned gun towers to disable trespassers? I'm unsure if that video is even authentic, it's hard to tell what's real and what isn't these days.

Don't you mean KDEN?

Doesn’t that imply past V1?

While I get what you're saying, and I'm not here to judge the crew as their actions worked out for the 230 passengers and crew.

Also, and side note that this event didn't register on the FAA ASIAS summary page.

With 12,000’ of runway, guessing actual V1 may have been above VR, so essentially at VR. Be curious how far down the runway they ended up stopping.
