Video released Sunday by Denver airport officials shows the moment a Frontier passenger jet struck a person on a Denver International Airport runway.
The Denver airport trespasser who was sucked into a jet engine and horifically dismembered when stepped in front of a Frontier Airlines plane was a career criminal who was previously arrested for homicide — and authorities believe he intended to kill himself.
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 barrelled toward them, according to new surveillance footage.
The airport says it can confirm a pedestrian jumped the perimeter fence and was hit just two minutes later while crossing the runway.
