That must have hurt
LOS ANGELES — A man was charged with trespassing after he stripped naked, scaled an airport fence, ran across the tarmac and climbed into a plane's wheel well before firefighters talked him out, officials said.
The man had earlier tried to buy a ticket for a Qantas Airways flight to Australia with only a credit card receipt. He told authorities at Los Angeles International Airport that he stripped off his clothes Monday to protest the airline's decision to deny him the ticket, airport spokeswoman Nancy Castles said.
Baggage handlers saw the man climb an 8-foot, barbed-wire fence that separates public and private areas of the airport and run to a departing plane as it backed from the gate. He climbed into a wheel well before the plane stopped.
The man, Neil Melly, 31, of Canada, suffers from bipolar disorder and had been listed as a missing person in Canada, Castles said.
I still don't understand how stripping naked is a protest to being denied buying a ticket if you have no money. And barbed wire? How did he get his nads over that?
Airport authorities will look into improving the fence, said Paul Haney, a spokesman for the agency that operates the airport.
I sense the next episode of LAX. Crazy naked guy scales the fence. Gets shot by drunk security guy. Has surgery to have his balls sewn back on.
