Dramatic footage circulating online captured the chaotic aftermath as emergency crews rushed toward Frontier Flight 4345 shortly after the horrifying incident occurred early Friday morning.

Officials later confirmed the individual had reportedly been walking on the runway before being struck and sucked into one of the jet’s engines.
The collision allegedly triggered a brief engine fire, sending smoke into the air as airport firefighters raced to the scene.
Emergency crews quickly extinguished the flames while passengers aboard the aircraft were evacuated onto the tarmac.

Federal investigators and Frontier Airlines are reportedly reviewing how the individual was able to gain access to a restricted airfield area despite extensive airport security measures.
The disturbing footage quickly spread across social media, with many viewers expressing disbelief that someone could reach an active runway at a major international airport without being stopped.
Authorities have not yet confirmed whether the incident was accidental, intentional, or related to a mental health episode as the investigation continues.
