One person died after being struck by a Frontier Airlines aircraft during takeoff at Denver International Airport on Friday. The collision sparked an engine fire aboard the plane, forcing passengers to evacuate via emergency slides directly onto the runway. Authorities have not yet disclosed how the individual came to be on the active runway. The incident drew international coverage, with outlets across Australia and beyond carrying the story as investigators began piecing together what went wrong at one of America’s busiest airports.
