Person Fatally Struck and Sucked Into An Engine Of A Frontier Plane In Denver [VIDEO]

A Frontier Airlines jet preparing to depart Denver International Airport for Los Angeles struck and killed a pedestrian on the runway Friday night, triggering an engine fire.

According to airport officials, the pedestrian had breached a perimeter fence roughly two minutes before the incident and was pronounced dead at the scene. The person who has not been publicly identified, was reportedly sucked into one of the engines of the Airbus A321neo mid-takeoff at Denver International Airport. All 224 passengers and seven crew members were safely evacuated from the plane.

There are about 36 miles of perimeter fence surrounding the airport. An inspection after the incident found the fence was intact, but the airport said it will perform an “incident analysis” in the coming days and review its perimeter security program.
