Haunting infrared surveillance footage has emerged showing the moment a Frontier airplane hit a person who had jumped a fence and walked across the runway at Denver International Airport.
The harrowing incident unfolded Friday night as Frontier Flight 4345 was accelerating for takeoff from Denver en route to Los Angeles.
Footage shows the person casually walking across a runway after jumping a perimeter fence, before the Airbus A321 comes into frame at full takeoff speed.
The video stops just short of showing the moment of impact, but reports state the person was sucked into one of the jet’s turbine engines.

Audio featured the plane’s pilot reporting he was aborting takeoff and stopping on the runway because “We just hit somebody,” and “We have an engine fire,” before an air traffic controller disturbingly reports the runway is closed because “I do have limbs on the runway.”
