LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - A Canadian man, angry that he was refused a plane ticket to Australia at Los Angeles International Airport, stripped naked, sprinted across the tarmac and climbed into the wheel well of a moving jumbo jet, officials said on Wednesday.
Pilots of the Qantas Airways flight stopped the plane. The man was coaxed out of the wheel well and arrested for trespassing, said airport spokeswoman Nancy Castles.
"This was an extremely dangerous thing for him to do. If he had continued to cling in there with the aircraft taking off at over 200 miles (320 kph) per hour, he might have fallen out and could have been sucked up by an engine," she said.

Damn straight. Only a Bible-believing nutter would do such a thing. I bet he thought that God demanded that he travel to Oz.

Who, or what actually won the US election? Intolerance. The Bush campaign was built around pushing God down people's throats; attacking Gays; and more Guns for the idiotic. Gays, Guns & God. Congratulations, you just participated in one big joke.

One thing is for sure...if he fell out of the wheel well he wouldn't have been sucked into an engine. The landing gear are behind the engines on all commercial transports with wing mounted engines. And although some have engines mounted in the tail, he would have fallen "down" out of the wheel well and still wouldn't have been sucked into an engine.
In any case, if you climb into the whell well of an airliner, you will almost certainly die--from the cold or the lack of oxygen.

So, if he actually survived takeoff and gear-retraction, would he die of exposure or asphyxia first? I'm taking bets... Naked man in an uninsulated jumbo jet wheel-well. November, but taking off from LAX heading to Australia. We'll need to know what kind of jet so we can work out the climb rate. Hell, we can probably get a London bookie to work out the odds for us. Now, we just need a victim... um, tester.
Cheers!

"Later, he managed to climb over an airport fence, topped by three strands of barbed wire, without injury and was spotted by a ramp worker...."
Only Jeesus can do such tricks!!

Maybe he didn't realize the extreme cold that he would have to endure as he clung onto the wheel. You know, as his penis freezes off.
Silly wanker.

"Castles said a check by authorities found that Melly had been reported missing to the Royal Canadian Mounted Police and was suffering from bi-polar disorder, a manic-depressive illness. "
I believe that explains why.
