2:36Now PlayingNew surveillance video released by the City and County of Denver captured the horrific moment an apparent trespasser was fatally struck by a Frontier Airlines plane.
The victim, who has not been publicly identified, was sucked into one of the engines of the Airbus A321neo mid-takeoff at Denver International Airport on May 9.
