A radar system monitoring Denver International Airport’s fenceline triggered an alarm minutes before a man scaled the 8-foot fence and ran onto a runway on Friday and was hit and killed by a Frontier Airlines plane about to take off, authorities said Tuesday.
The operator responding to the alarm initially only saw a herd of deer outside the fence, not the trespasser, identified as Michael Mott, 41, possibly because of some ditches nearby, airport CEO Philip A. Washington said. But two minutes after Mott quickly climbed the fence, about two miles from the airport’s terminal, he was hit by the plane.
Mott’s death was determined to be a suicide.
The pilots of the Frontier flight aborted the takeoff after the impact, which caused a fire on the plane carrying 231 people. Twelve people reported minor injuries. Five of them were taken to a hospital for treatment, and only one remained at a hospital on Tuesday morning, Washington said.
