Don't you mean KDEN?
FFT4345 DEN 5/8
- Thread starter azmedic
- Start date
With 12,000’ of runway, guessing actual V1 may have been above VR, so essentially at VR. Be curious how far down the runway they ended up stopping.

You're correct. I misidentified it. But the rest of what I posted is correct.Don't you mean KDEN?

The camera is oddly centered on the subject? Was it tracking them? For how long? What’s the point of the system in the first place if they can’t alert a crew running down the runway in time?
Footage Released Of The Person Who Climbed A Fence At Denver Airport Then Gets Sucked Into A Plane Engine
An individual climbed a fence at the Denver airport and walked onto the runway right in front of a Frontier Airlines jet. The pilot couldn't stop in time and the person was pulled into the engine, causing an engine fire. First responders reported finding "limbs on the runway" and said the person...worldstar.com
That's kinda what it looked like to me

I'm unfamiliar with thermal camera technology but in that video it looks like the engine was on fire before it hit the person. I don't think fan air would be hot enough for that effect in the video, I'd happily listen to someone with more knowledge. I'll also say the source I read saying it was a female was incorrect, apparently the person was a male and has been identified and it's being described as a suicide. The picture the news showed was a dude with a goatee. Suicide by runway is an odd choice, maybe it was easier than buying a gun in CO.

that one attached to your post is the first I have seen with the full ingestion. No idea if the link destination changed or I never clicked.
In any case I think many videos showing stuff have subject center as it's a video filmed on a phone from the monitor they are watching on?
No idea,
and that brings up the other thing, I wonder if someone with access and a bit of thirst uploaded a video and is going to be in hot water for doing it?
The camera was moving back and forth between the subject and some deer near the fence. The airport crew did receive a perimeter breach alert but were also distracted by the deer.
Maybe it's the hot thrust behind the engine showing on the thermal camera?

In other news, WorldStar still exists
There's another video from the passenger point of view
No real gore, but it shows how fast things can happen
