Chilling scene on the runway in Denver.
A person hit by a passenger plane about to take off.
The emergency evacuation of passengers what airport officials tonight are now confirming about the person on the runway.
Here's Gio Benitez.
Tonight, this alarming security breach is raising serious questions after a trespasser seen here on surveillance video was killed by a Frontier Airlines jet speeding down the runway about to take off.
>> Frontier 4345, we're stopping on the runway.
We just hit somebody.
We have an engine fire.
Just before 11:20 p.m.
Friday, that passenger plane with 231 people on board was cleared for takeoff.
Frontier 54345 Denver, RNAV to Gore 17 left cleared for takeoff.
At the same time, this person scaled the fence making it onto the busy Denver International runway just 2 minutes later.
They were killed by the plane's engine, the pilots aborting takeoff.
The engine bursting into flames and smoke filling the cabin.
The crew deploying emergency slides, panic passengers scrambling unaware of what just happened.
It felt like, you know, getting in a big giant fender bender.
Denver's airport facilities are twice the size of Manhattan and officials say they're now reviewing its perimeter security program.
It's very expensive to put high security fencing around any airport, particularly one the size of Denver.
This incident does not look like it was some random person walking through an open part of the fence onto that runway.
It appears to be something much more deliberate.
And David, the FAA is now investigating.
Many are asking how this person was able to gain access to one of the busiest runways in the country.
David.
>> Gio Benitez who covers aviation, thank you tonight.
