The preliminary report from the National Transportation Safety Board shows that when investigators examined the right engine, they found some issues. Passengers stand on the wing of a plane Steve Schilsky According to the NTSB, investigators found a broken fan blade and the lockwire of a fuel fitting installed in the wrong direction. American Airlines Flight 1006 plane carrying 178 people, caught fire on the tarmac after making an emergency landing at Denver's airport on March 13.

American Airlines plane that caught fire in Denver had loose and incorrectly installed parts, NTSB report says
A preliminary report from the National Transportation Safety Board found indications maintenance errors could be at fault for an American Airlines plane that caught fire after making an emergency landing at Denver International Airport in March. Investigators say airport cameras captured video showing a trail of fluid following the plane as it taxied after diverting to Denver due to an engine issue. When investigators looked at the plane's engine, they discovered some parts were loose and appeared to be installed incorrectly, with one "allowing fuel to leak from the fitting." "The way this is looking is that there was a maintenance issue that led to this fire and we've gotta figure out where that error occurred so we can keep that error from happening again," said former NTSB chair Robert Sumwalt, CBS News transportation safety analyst. Passengers of flight 1006 wait for help getting off the wing of the plane at Denver International Airport on Thursday evening. Alexandria Cullen Passengers escape plane The NTSB says the fire was put out in less than a minute by ground crews in Denver. The report describes the chaos in the cabin after passengers, who were flying to Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport, saw flames under the engine. "Everyone was screaming, 'There's a fire. There's a fire,'" Helen Prager, who was on the plane, recalled. "Literally at the gate and I was screaming, 'Get the doors open.'" As that was happening, the NTSB said a flight attendant called the pilots, but "did not get an answer." Another flight attendant knocked on the cockpit door to alert the pilots of the fire outside and the smoke inside. Some of the 172 passengers evacuated to the wing, but an escape slide jammed, preventing the use of the cabin doors. "When it did not deploy properly and it jammed the door, that's a problem," Sumwalt said. "So the NTSB is going to want to drill down into that. … Did it come from the factory that way, or was it a maintenance problem?" Twelve people were taken to a hospital with minor injuries following the fire, officials said following the incident. The plane took off from Colorado Springs. In a statement, American Airlines told CBS News, "The safety of our customers and team members is our top priority and we are cooperating with the National Transportation Safety Board in its investigation." Aviation incidents in 2025 The plane fire in Denver is one in a string of aviation incidents so far this year. In January, a midair collision where a Blackhawk helicopter struck an American Airlines plane near Reagan National Airport killed all 64 people on board the regional jet and the three soldiers in the helicopter. The flight was coming from Wichita, Kansas. A Delta Air Lines regional jet crashed and flipped upside down during its landing at Toronto International Airport in February. The incident left 21 people injured, but all 80 on board, including the crew, were able to escape the wreckage. Members of Congress were on a plane sitting on the tarmac at Reagan National Airport in April when it was clipped by another aircraft. No injuries were reported in the incident. Meanwhile, the FAA is investigating outages that have happened at the Philadelphia air traffic control center, which is responsible for operating flights out of Newark airport. Multiple outages have occurred since April. Last month, the Trump administration announced plans to overhaul the system. Despite high-profile incidents this year, a CBS News analysis based on NTSB and Bureau of Travel Statistics data shows .02% of domestic flights were involved in accidents in 2024.

Former Big Leaguer Says MLB 'Protected' Shohei Ohtani in Betting Scandal
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Four months after Ippei Mizuhara was sentenced to nearly five years in prison for stealing from Shohei Ohtani to pay for gambling losses, the saga comes to life once again. Former three-time All-Star and 2005 American League Manager of the Year Ozzie Guillen is speaking out about the situation, and he believes Ohtani was the one secretly gambling. LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA - JUNE 05: Shohei Ohtani #17 of the Los Angeles Dodgers at bat against the New York Mets in the first inning at Dodger Stadium on June 05, 2025 in Los Angeles,... LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA - JUNE 05: Shohei Ohtani #17 of the Los Angeles Dodgers at bat against the New York Mets in the first inning at Dodger Stadium on June 05, 2025 in Los Angeles, California. More"Everyone knows that Shohei Ohtani took a chance (by gambling) and they (Major League Baseball) protected him," Guillen told Fernando Ballesteros of Pure Baseball in Puerto Rico. Mizuhara was sentenced to 57 months in prison for stealing from Ohtani back in February just before the season started. The Dodgers have stood by Ohtani's side as prosecutors have stated multiple times Ohtani was the victim in this situation. However, many baseball fans on social media, particularly fans of rival teams, believe what Guillen is saying to be true. There is still some belief in the baseball world that Mizuhara took one for the team to prevent Ohtani from being banned. Ohtani has since moved on from the situation as he continues to produce a strong season at the plate for the Dodgers with a slash line of .295/.389/.648. He's totaled 23 home runs and 39 RBI as the designated hitter this season. Guillen has always been known by baseball fans for speaking his mind, so this statement shouldn't come as a surprise. As of now, though, there's zero evidence to support his claim. It could be out of spite, jealousy or a combination of both.
