DENVER — Security and safety questions remain after a person was struck and killed on a runway by a departing Frontier flight after the person allegedly trespassed onto Denver International Airport property Friday night.
Security surveillance video of the incident obtained by Denver7 Sunday shows the moment Frontier Airlines flight 4345 struck a pedestrian as the Airbus A320, carrying 231 souls, raced down runway 17L.
The plane, on route from Denver to Los Angeles International Airport, “reported striking a pedestrian during takeoff at DEN at approximately 11:19 p.m. on Friday,” according to a post on the airport’s official X account.
An official confirmed to ABC News that “the person was at least partially consumed by one of the engines.”
