Its cause the pax was operating electronic equipment during takeoff, obviously.
 
No, some passenger brough 4 Li-ion batteries on board, which caused the control wires to catch fire and the steering to ultimately fail.

I wonder about the thought process of individuals that think "Oh, this looks like a nice place in the middle of a runway to park my vehicle" then walk off without that little voice in their head screaming "YOU IDIOT! MOVE THE FLIPPING CAR BEORE A PLANE RUNS INTO IT!" At least put the vehicle in the grass or on the edge of the pavement.

I found a tractor on a runway one night just past the numbers. (thank you dad for teaching me to make a low pass at night before attempting to land)

The Lake in the Hills police were drag racing on the runway one night when I came in for a landing. I low passed from right behind them and they scattered pretty quick!
 
On our home field we had some contractors working. One day I taxied out for a take off and we had a cross wind causing me to use the seldom used short runway. I was on my takeoff roll when out comes a backhoe and heads right across the runway. I had enough room to takeoff but it sure taught that guy a lesson. He appolized later and told me that he thought I had taxied to the end of 36 instead of 28, as I usually did. He crossed at the intersection of the two runways. Bob
