March 14, 20251 yr Yowch. Looks like maybe a fuel leak, with puddled fuel under the jet burning. It had departed Colorado Springs headed to Dallas and diverted into Denver.

My guess is if they did pull the leavers this looks like a fuel leak and fire inside and outside the engine (on the ground) pulling the levers would offer fire suppression inside the engine but do nothing to the fire on the ground. From ATC the pilots reported it was just an engine vibration and were taxing, it appears they didn’t know it was going to escalate like this. Fire Trucks were not on standby. Edit: Correction the aircraft was already parked at the gate when this happened and the bridge was already hooked up. Engines were likely already shutdown Edited March 15, 20251 yr by Matthew Kane Matthew Kane I'm Dyslexic, what's an error to you is not to me

Engines were likely already shutdown Evidently the excessive vibration broke a fuel line or valve. I wonder if the aircraft was a total loss. Fr.
