The incident involved Flight 4012, stationed at Terminal C, and initial reports suggest the fire may have been linked to jet fuel igniting near the engine.
As of 10:00 PM -03, Denver International Airport officials confirmed that all passengers were safely evacuated using emergency slides, with no immediate reports of injuries. I have not seen an official statement yet.
Edit: Correct flight number is actually AA 1006. Thanks to u/747ER.

So the “leave all your personal stuff in case of an emergency” is just a suggestion, right.
Well no wonder it caught fire all the people standing on the wing can’t be good for the plane
Inhaling those fumes seem healthy too
Ah shit, here we go again.
I always thought slides deploy automatically when opening an emergency door.
This just unlocked a new fear for my next flight.
“There’s….someone on the wing.”
2025 doesn’t like aircraft
There are fuel tanks in the wings….
People saying they got medicine they’d be grabbing them, can they not put them in their pockets or put it in a fanny pack or something so you can just get up and go in an emergency? Or is that too logical?
Is it just me, or are we hearing about more incidents like this than before?
Jesus Christ. The idea of having to do this while holding a baby is nightmare fuel.
They could have brought taller ladders.
I’ve seen more airline incidents in the last two months, than ever
Talk about being on a Wing and a Prayer!!!
Gotta love people carrying bags in an emergency.
Just slide down the engine
I’m sorry but what catching my attention is the fact that most planes store there fuel in the wings. Sooo let’s all go walk out on the hopes the fire doesn’t make it to the wing. And we will bring these short ass ladders to slowly get yall down. Wtf airlines
So do we all agree that the americans arent allowed planes until they work out whatever the fuck is going on?
And want to guess why airline and aviation regulations are down and all of these emphasis of planes crashing, catching on fire, passengers safety being jeopardized…
It’s rhetorical, fucking grifter in office
Yea I’m not getting in any flights for a while
SO MUCH WINNING
What a good time to be overturning safety standards
Thank you, Secretary Duffy, for your leadership, you fucking tool!
Look at these people holding their bags.
In the event of an emergency leave all your shit on the plane!
Starting to think that whole, “flying is safer than driving” thing was a lie.
Why are there so many plane incidents lately?!?!
Another one?
Alex, I’ll take “Shit I won’t mention to my wife because we are flying to Hawaii on Monday” for $400
Hot wings
How high off the ground are they?
This looks like a shoot for some music video.
Why are people holding their luggage????!
Everybody looking at my fat ass on the end of the wing cautiously 🥴
Shows you how strong the wings are to not even sag, and how much force the air resistance is applying when they do flex in the air
Sign of the times.
I should probably start paying attention more when they tell me the instructions for sitting in an exit row.
Selfie culture is ridiculous… Everyone lining up on the wing to get a picture of themselves with a plane on fire. /s
Reset the timer
Wtf is going on with airplanes these days…do they not do maintenance anymore??
I thought those were the people who didn’t pay extra for the seat on American?
They need taller ladders
