Flight UA2325<\/a> was operating a scheduled flight from Denver International Airport (DEN)<\/a> to Edmonton (YEG)<\/a> on April 13, 2025. The aircraft left Denver at around 07:20 p.m local time, but ingested a rabbit into the number 2 (right-hand) engine during the takeoff roll. Despite some over-sensationalized media reports, the backfiring and compressor stall experienced by the engine was normal under such circumstances, and the engine was shut down successfully by the crew.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/section>\n

The aircraft flew several holding patterns to the east of the airport before returning to Denver at 8:03 p.m local time. The aircraft involved was N27213<\/a>, a 23-year-old Boeing 737-824<\/a> built in June 1998. Unlike widebody jets, narrowbody aircraft like the 737 typically do not have fuel dumping capabilities. This is due to a very small margin between the aircraft’s maximum takeoff and landing weights. By way of an example, the Boeing 737-800 has a maximum takeoff weight of around 79 tonnes, and a maximum landing weight of 66 tonnes. Even if a 737 needs to land shortly after takeoff, a 13-tonne excess is manageable, and the aircraft is built to absorb it structurally.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/section>\n
