Horror as Frontier Airlines flight with 231 people on board kills a person on runway during takeoff

There was horror onboard a Frontier Airlines flight bound for Los Angeles when it struck and killed a person walking on the runway at Denver International Airport on Friday night.

Smoke filled the cabin as the incident sparked an engine fire and those onboard evacuated the aircraft via the emergency slides as a precaution.

The pedestrian was at least partially consumed by one of the engines, an official confirmed to ABC News.

A statement to the Daily Mail from Frontier said: 'As flight 4345 was departing this evening from Denver International Airport to Los Angeles International Airport, the aircraft reportedly struck a pedestrian on the runway during takeoff.

'Smoke was reported in the cabin and the pilots aborted takeoff. Passengers were then safely evacuated via slides as a matter of precaution.

'The Airbus A321 was carrying 224 passengers and seven crew members. We are investigating this incident and gathering more information in coordination with the airport and other safety authorities. We are deeply saddened by this event.'

There was at least one minor injury to a person on board the aircraft, which collided with the unknown individual on the runway at about 11:30pm local time.

Air traffic control audio from ATC.com picked up the crew speaking about the incident.

Sometimes, the enemy of my enemy, is also my enemy.
Islam sanitizes oppression. Islam rebrands cruelty as culture, and expects applause from Liberal fools for their Islamic progressivism.
You cannot "COEXIST" with people who want to kill you.
If they kill their own with no conscience, there is nothing to stop them from killing you.
Rational fear and anger at vicious murderous Islamic terrorists is the same as irrational antisemitism, according to the Leftists

I don't suppose an airport runway really is a pedestrian zone.

Suicide by Jet airplane.... Or did he think he was John McClain in Die Harder.

From the ATC recordings I listened to, The unalived person may have been ingested into one of the engines and then the engine caught fire.  Fire filled the cabin and the Pilot evacuated the plane on the runway.

You don’t become cooler with age but you do care progressively less about being cool, which is the only true way to actually be cool.

I recall seeing a while back that someone committed suicide that way, knowing exactly what would happen. Eww.
