Moment Frontier Airlines plane strikes person on Denver runway seen in horrifying new video
An apparent trespasser who was fatally struck by a Frontier Airlines plane at a Colorado airport on Saturday was seen calmly walking across the runway while the aircraft barreled toward them, according to new surveillance footage.
The victim, who has not been publicly identified, was sucked into one of the engines of the Airbus A321neo mid-takeoff at Denver International Airport.
The person had jumped the perimeter fence and was on the tarmac when they were mowed down at 11:19 p.m., the airport confirmed.

The victim can be seen walking from one end to the other with little urgency. They appeared to be perfectly aligned with one of the plane’s engines when part of their upper body was sucked inside, according to the harrowing footage.
The collision occurred roughly two minutes after the individual hopped the fence, KHOU 11 reported. The plane was moving at 139 mph at the time of the crash, according to FlightAware.
Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy asserted that the “trespasser breached security” and “ran out onto the runway.”
“No one should EVER trespass on an airport,” Duffy wrote on X.
Passenger John Anthens, who was on the plane with his sons, was looking out the window when he saw “the legs of a human spinning around in the engine.”
“The majority of people didn’t know what was going on or what happened, but there was just a big explosion and, obviously, when you hear a big explosion, people start screaming, kids are crying and it was horrific,” passenger John Anthens told The Post.KHOU11

“The majority of people didn’t know what was going on or what happened, but there was just a big explosion and, obviously, when you hear a big explosion, people start screaming, kids are crying and it was horrific,” Anthens told The Post.
The nose of the plane jerked upward on impact as a “bomb”-like explosion rattled the cabin, Anthens said.
The engine burst into flames moments later as passengers remained in their seats at the flight attendants’ behest.
All 224 passengers and seven crew members were safely evacuated from the plane. Anthens’ son, John, stopped at the bottom of the inflatable evacuation slide and took a picture of the mangled engine — which was coated in the victim’s flesh and blood.
The Anthens family canceled their trip and opted to drive back to their home in Nebraska after the stomach-turning incident.
The National Transportation Safety Board and Federal Aviation Administration are investigating.
PASSENGERS RECALL SEEING PEDESTRIAN’S LEGS SPINNING AROUND INSIDE PLANE ENGINE
A Frontier Airlines flight headed to Los Angeles was forced to abort takeoff Friday night after striking and killing a person walking on the runway at Denver International Airport.
According to airport officials, Frontier Flight 4345 was accelerating for takeoff around 11:19 p.m. when pilots reported hitting a “pedestrian” on the runway.
John Anthens, 56, and his sons Jacob, 30, and Levi, 19, were onboard the flight when the terrifying ordeal unfolded and feared for their lives.
“When the engine blew up, I thought, ‘Oh shit, we’re all going to die,’” John recalled.
The family told the New York Post the plane suddenly jolted before a loud explosion rocked the cabin.
John said he was looking out the window when he saw the unidentified person approach the aircraft moments before the impact.
“My dad said when the engine fire went up, he was able to see the legs of a human spinning around in the engine,” Jacob said. “Which sounds like emotional trauma to me.”
Passengers reportedly sat choking on smoke from the engine fire while flight attendants instructed everyone to remain seated.
“I would say the majority of people didn’t know what was going on,” John explained. “But there was just a big explosion. People started screaming, kids were crying, and it was horrific.”
After evacuating the aircraft using inflatable emergency slides, Levi reportedly helped other passengers off the plane while his father documented the aftermath.
The family had been traveling to Los Angeles for a Pokémon Go tournament at the LA Convention Center, where Jacob had hoped to compete.
Authorities have not yet publicly identified the person killed on the runway or why they hopped the perimeter fence to get onto it. The incident remains under investigation.
