Late Friday night, Frontier Airlines Flight 4345, an Airbus A321 bound for Los Angeles, struck a trespasser at Denver International Airport during takeoff. The incident occurred around 11:19 PM local time, shortly after the individual jumped a perimeter fence and entered the runway area. Tragically, the person died at the scene, and authorities confirmed they were not an airport employee. Audio from air traffic control revealed the chaotic moment, with the pilot reporting, "we just hit somebody... we have an engine fire." The impact triggered a brief engine fire, leading to an emergency evacuation of the aircraft, which was carrying 224 passengers and 7 crew members. During the evacuation, 12 passengers sustained minor injuries, and 5 were taken to local hospitals. A federal investigation is underway to determine the circumstances surrounding the breach of airport security, as officials inspect the perimeter fencing for vulnerabilities. Frontier Airlines expressed their sorrow over the incident and is cooperating with authorities to gather more information.
