Flight 1006, which was headed from the Colorado Springs Airport to Dallas Fort Worth, diverted to Denver and landed safely around 5:15 p.m. after the crew reported engine vibrations, the Federal Aviation Administration said in a statement.

While taxiing to the gate, an engine on the Boeing 737-800 caught fire, the FAA added.

Photos and videos posted by news outlets showed passengers standing on a plane’s wing as smoke surrounded the aircraft. The FAA said passengers exited using the slides.

This is the American exceptionalism of cutting corners until the product is trash.

The pre-Trump feds cutting the FAA's budget, then deciding the industry could regulate its own manufacturing tests didn't help either.

It's that kind of failure of leadership that proves gov'ts are no longer there for the people ... only the big businesses with money.
