Naked Canadian Hides in Plane's Wheel Well
LOS ANGELES -- Officials are thinking about strengthening the fences at Los Angeles International Airport.
A naked man from Canada climbed over an eight-foot barbed-wire fence Monday, ran across the tarmac and scrambled into the wheel well of a departing jet. It didn't take off and firefighters were able to talk him into coming out.
An LAX spokeswoman said the 31-year-old man claimed he did it because Qantas Airways had refused to sell him a ticket on a flight to Australia. Qantas said he tried to pay with just a credit card receipt.
He was booked on a trespass charge and is described as mentally unstable.

The infection is spreading! Nude man jumps in crocodile tank.
I wish I was there to see that...
How the hell did he expect to survive in the wheel well at 30,000 feet for something like 10 hours? And what about the jolting and jostling when the plane landed, and the probablility of being crushed when the landing gear was raised?
This really make me think how safe airports are....
people are smart.
