Footage shows the moment an individual walked on the Denver Airport runway and stood in front of a Frontier Airlines jet.
Authorities say the person scaled a fence about two minutes before being struck on the runway.
The collision caused an engine fire, and the pilot was forced to stop the plane from taking off.
“Runway 17L is closed. I do have limbs on the runway. I believe the aircraft struck an individual,” a first responder reportedly said.
ABC News reports that the person was “at least partially consumed” by the engine.
12 people on board were injured, and five were taken to the hospital.
