The aircraft landed safely and all passengers and crew were evacuated.

A ground stop is in effect until 7 p.m. and the Federal Aviation Administration is continuing to investigate.

    Looks like a landing gear fire. Before it gets asked, no that’s not a Boeing 737. Frontier’s fleet consists entirely of Airbus A32x aircraft.

        Someone commented on another video that they saw the Ram Air Turbine extended. So they would’ve lost power, supporting your electrical fire theory. Also it seems extending the RAT disables some safeguards, that can cause the wheels to lock and catch fire.

      I made an NBA Hangtime reference for the first time in about 10 years less than a week ago. I’m glad to see another one so soon. :)

        Mine is technically an NBA Jam for the Sega Genesis reference but they’re memes that have been unchanged for a long time!

    That right engine looks like it’s hanging down on the front end. Maybe some bolts came loose or the fire melted a mount?

        Just the front of the engine? Because that’s what it looks like to me … that the rear of the engine is still attached to the wing, but the front of it is sagging.
