A horrifying incident at Denver International Airport left one person dead after they were struck by a Frontier Airlines aircraft during takeoff. Audio from air traffic control captured the chilling moments: “Tower, Frontier 4345, we’re stopping on the runway. Uh, we just hit someone… we have an engine fire,” the pilot reported. Ground crew confirmed the grim scene, reporting “human remains on the runway.”
The U.S. Secretary of Transportation referred to the victim as an “intruder” on airport grounds, though details of how the individual gained access to the active runway remain unclear. The Frontier 4345 crew aborted takeoff and evacuated the aircraft. Multiple Greek outlets covered the story, underscoring how the disturbing air traffic control audio went viral internationally.
