NEW: Footage shows the moment an individual walked on the Denver airport runway and stood in front of a Frontier Airlines jet. Authorities say the person scaled a fence about two minutes before being struck on the runway. The collision caused an engine fire, and the pilot was forced to stop the plane from taking off. "Runway 17L is closed. I do have limbs on the runway. I believe the aircraft struck an individual," a first responder reportedly said. ABC News reports that the person was "at least partially consumed" by the engine. 12 people on board were injured, and five were taken to the hospital.

🚨#BREAKING: Watch as a Frontier Airlines aircraft forced to make an emergency after a pedestrian on the runway was struck and sucked into one of the jet’s engines 📌#Denver | #Colorado Watch as horrifying footage from earlier this morning shows the moment Frontier Flight 4345, departing from Denver International Airport and bound for Los Angeles, was forced into an emergency evacuation after a man reportedly walked onto the active runway and was sucked into one of the aircraft’s engines during takeoff. The impact triggered a brief engine fire, which was quickly extinguished by airport firefighters. Officials later confirmed the individual had been walking on the runway prior to the incident, though the reason remains unknown and is now under investigation. No injuries were reported among the 231 passengers onboard the aircraft. Frontier Airlines and federal investigators are now reviewing how the person was able to gain access to an active runway at one of the largest airports in the United States, raising serious questions about perimeter and airfield security procedures.
