On July 2, 2018, SkyWest Flight 5869 landed at Denver International Airport with an engine ablaze. Everyone was safely evacuated.

``The fire was large enough that the controllers in the airport control tower could see it and radioed the pilots to alert them,'' according to Kevin Delaney, editor of the website Quartz, who was aboard the flight.

The regional jet carried 59 passengers and a crew of four.

SkyWest operated the flight for United Air Lines.
