Shocking audio captured the bewildered moments that pilots on board the Frontier Flight 4345 smashed right into a pedestrian who ended up running into its path, leaving limbs scattered across the runway.
"Tower, Frontier 4345, we are stopping on the runway. We just hit somebody, and we have an engine fire,"- the pilot could be heard mentioning in a panicked voice.
"I do have limbs on the runway, I believe the plane struck an individual," the airport staff member mentioned, adding later how there appear to be human remains on the runway.
The unidentified person ended up jumping the perimeter fence and was crossing the runway when they were hit by the moving plane at 11:19 pm, Denver International Airport confirmed.
The person was at least partially sucked into one of the engines of the Airbus A321neo, which ignited the brief engine fire that led most passengers to fear for their lives, as explained by terrified witnesses.
When the mega engine blew up, one passenger said that they were sure they were all going to die. Most people did not know what was going on, but those having the window seat near the engine were able to see the gruesome incident unfold.
