00:00Tower, Delta 1505, there was a man running down the runway.

00:03Watch this man desperately chase the plane that was about to take off.

00:09Tower, Delta 1505, there was a man running down the runway.

00:13He ran around the airport and managed to get onto the runway without anyone trying to stop him.

00:20Delta 2348, a guy on foot?

00:23Yeah, might be the guy you're looking for.

00:25He thought that he could still enter the plane and make it to his flight.

00:30But his desperation only led him to the biggest tragedy of not only his life,

00:35but also the lives of the people who loved him the most.

00:39The police came and knocked on our door at one o'clock at night

00:43to give us the news that no parents ever want to hear.

00:47It's heartbreaking how the first day of 2024 became the last day of this man's life.

00:54And some of you will think that he acted irresponsibly.

00:57But once you know the reason, you will really change your mind.

01:02These are the final hours of the man who chased a moving plane, Kyler Effinger,

01:10who had just celebrated Christmas with his beautiful and loving family.

01:14At that moment, of course, no one knew it was Kyler's last Christmas ever.

01:20Texted on his way home that it was the best Christmas ever.

01:25A week later, he posted a fun video on December 31st, 2023,

01:31just the night before the tragedy.

01:33All right, it's ready.

01:41That was his last post ever.

01:43You can see he was having a good time.

01:45He was even teasing his friend who made a mistake while taking a video of him.

01:50He said, I'll post this selfie on my story so it disappears after 24 hours.

01:55This is quite chilling to read now because indeed it was his final 24 hours.

02:01The next day, January 1st.

02:03This was Kyler arriving at the Salt Lake International Airport before 5 p.m.

02:09Just look at these moments.

02:11It feels like an ordinary day.

02:13Kyler was on his way to Colorado Springs to visit his grandfather, who was very sick.

02:19He wanted to be with him before it's too late.

02:21Can you just see how sad it is?

02:25You want to be with your loved one during their final moments.

02:28You want to spend time with them, whatever's left of it,

02:33but you have no idea you're never gonna make it

02:35because you are the one who's living your own final moments right now.

02:40At first, Kyler planned to drive for 9 hours,

02:44but his father didn't want him to drive and be alone for so long.

02:49And very soon you will know why.

02:51Kyler's dad bought him the ticket and everything seemed normal.

02:55He got himself checked in, but the moment he reached the security,

03:00everything started to happen really fast.

03:03He sent his dad a message that he felt like the security was profiling him.

03:08He was held up for so long that he missed his flight.

03:12He was close to saving his own life with it.

03:16Eventually, the security let him go.

03:19From that moment on, Kyler started behaving differently

03:22and that would go on for the next four hours.

03:25He started running around the airport as fast as he could.

03:29And I want you to really watch these videos closely.

03:32He dropped his things, argued with airport staff,

03:36sat beside the moving walkways and ran again while carrying his own shoes.

03:439.51 p.m.

03:45This was Kyler going from one boarding gate to another.

03:49He was trying to open doors.

03:52He even asked for help from an airport staff.

03:54At this point, someone had reported Kyler to the authorities.

04:06A male is wearing a yellow jersey, brown pants with no shoes.

04:11And so at 9.53 p.m., you can see he became even more desperate.

04:16He used all his strength to open this door, but he kept failing.

04:22He tried breaking the windows by hand and by throwing his shoes against them.

04:27You can just see how badly he wanted to see his grandpa.

04:309.56 p.m.

04:32Kyler realized he could try going through an emergency exit.

04:36By this time, the airport authorities started to look for him.

04:41But he now managed to get onto the runway.

04:48They communicated with pilots of aircrafts that were about to take off that night,

04:53asking them if they've seen a man on the runway.

05:03For a few more minutes, no one could locate Kyler.

05:22But by 10.04 p.m., one pilot finally saw him.

05:3210.08 p.m. Kyler was seen underneath an aircraft and had accessed the engine.

05:53And that's when the authorities came, only to find Kyler unconscious.

05:57They had to pull him out because he was partially inside a wing-mounted engine.

06:03They tried their best to save him, but you know it already, it was too late.

06:09After four hours of running around the airport, Kyler had passed away.

06:14At 1 a.m. of January 2nd, Kyler's parents received the most devastating news.

06:21And it seemed like they already knew why all of this happened.

06:26He got held up in security, missed his flight.

06:30And those phone calls, I just knew, you know, they call it the manic phase.

06:34Kyler had been suffering from bipolar disorder.

06:37That's why his dad didn't want him to drive for nine hours alone.

06:42But it was so unfortunate that he had a manic episode the time he was at the airport.

06:47That's why he had been acting so strange.

06:50He felt anxious the moment the security held him up.

06:54He was thinking about his grandfather and he panicked,

06:59thinking that he might never see him again.

07:02And in all of these, Kyler lost himself.

07:05It's painful to see these videos of Kyler now in this context, his final moment.

07:11And it reminds us that mental health issues can have devastating consequences.

07:16It's just so difficult to believe that Kyler was there for four hours

07:22with over a hundred thousand other passengers and airport staff.

07:27Yet no one noticed there was something going on with him.

07:31No one noticed something serious was happening.

07:34All people saw was a man acting weirdly and going out of control.

07:40No one bothered to check on him, even just a few seconds.

07:44And we're talking about an airport here where anything out of ordinary

07:50should be instantly spotted and addressed.

07:54If someone had just put his arm around him and said,

07:56Hey buddy, looks like you're having a bad day.

07:59Can we help?

08:00I think they could have saved his life.

08:03And so all I can say with all of this in mind is Kyler, rest in peace.
