Authorities said a teenage boy travelling alone opened an emergency door after his plane landed, slid down the wing and jumped onto a tarmac at San Francisco before shocked passengers could do anything to stop him.
Some passengers flying on Copa Airlines Flight 208 from Panama City, Panama, said that by the time they realized the door had been removed, the boy was already on the ground, running.
San Francisco Airport spokesman Doug Yakel said the 17-year-old removed the door as the plane was heading to a gate on Tuesday.
Yakel says an airfield construction crew held him until police arrived. He said the teenager is a US citizen and appeared to be in emotional distress during the flight.
e said no runways or flights were affected and that the unidentified boy wasn't injured.
ANOTHER replicant escaping the blade runners. When will it end?
What?! There’s a headline AND a story?!
Who knew?!
He’s probably close to his expiration date anyway.
Can you believe another airline flight attendant lost it and bailed on his job? I bet he’s gay too.
Puhleeze.
You've been here long enough to know that this is SOP.
Why get all excited about it? :)
“How is he a US citizen?”
I understand that we are all sometimes too busy to keep up with the news.
But, on July 9th an amendment to the U.S. Constitution was passed that stated, “. All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside.”
Again, that was just back on July 9th of 1868.
Family emergency?
Was the flight late perchance?
As a teenage boy, I must have travelled 100 times on international flights without parents.
US citizen, overdosing on Jason Bourne movies.
There is a little light to the right side top of your keyboard that alerts you when you are posting everything in caps. Use it.
Or he was wearing a camera and this was going to be an awesome YouTube video.
Teenager, internet meme, put the pieces together.
And he would have gotten away with it too, if it weren’t for those meddling construction workers and their stupid dog.
Hundreds?
“And he would have gotten away with it too, if it weren’t for those meddling construction workers and their stupid dog.”
ROTFLMFAO!
BUT I LIKE TO POST IN ALL CAPS SO THERE
Or at least read the excerpt.
He said the teenager is a US citizen
So quick to publicize ‘nationality,’ on this occasion....right?
“The individual in question is a US Citizen.”
What type? Recent “refugee”, prior illegal alien??
GREAT recommendation!!!
