A Missouri woman was arrested this week after she rushed onto a tarmac in an attempt to stop a departing plane.
According to FOX 6, the incident took place at Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport on Sunday, after 53-year-old Vickie Meyers had missed her flight. Authorities say the woman initially tried to open the closed gate by entering numbers of the keypad, but eventually opened emergency doors and began making her way down a flight of stairs toward the nose of the plane. Airport staffers “immediately made contact” with Meyers and then called police for assistance.
Officers say the woman, who appeared to be intoxicated, admitted she tried to stop the plane “so she would not miss her flight.”
Cellphone footage of the bizarre moment was posted on social media, showing law enforcement confronting Meyers before placing her in handcuffs. She was ultimately charged with first degree criminal trespassing on a crucial public service facility—a felony in Arizona.

Oh, you’re right I think. On second read, it looks as if she never went anywhere near the tarmac, just went down the ramp without authirization. The headline needs to be rewritten...then again, the story is totally uninteresting if she never in fact made it to the tarmac...there goes another few minutes of OGINJ’s life he won’t get back....
As long as she wasn't wearing a cape.
First of all, we do not use Tarmac in the US, it is not as durable as asphalt. It also has a rougher surface. If you want Tarmac go to England...and quit calling airfield aprons Tarmac, you sound like an idiot. -DR
You are not supposed to say, but it sounds like a woman of a certain ethnicity.
Looks like she put her mascara on upside down.
What did you call a hoagie or a grinder at JFK?
“Room for one more, honey.”

They’re called “Heroes” everywhere in NYC / Long Island area….
“The ramp” referred to everything flat and paved but the runways and taxiways….
“Officers say the woman, who appeared to be intoxicated, admitted she tried to stop the plane “so she would not miss her flight.”
Ah ha! So she was hanging out in the airport bar and missed her flight and didn’t mind inconveniencing everyone else.......who hasn’t been there?
…although that was in the 80s, maybe they call them “subs” now….
Kind of like the Brits that walk on the ‘pavement’, or use a ‘rubber’ to erase mistakes.. :P
People are starting to display behavior that would indicate to me that they spent too much time during the ‘RATs’ dempanic sitting on the couch, eating bon bons and watching the crap on the boob tube hour after hour, day after day.
A drunk ding from Missouri running around the tarmac attempting to stop airliners. Why not?
It’s okay. She’s a limo driver.
Ah ha! So she was hanging out in the airport bar and missed her flight and didn’t mind inconveniencing everyone else.......who hasn’t been there?Uh... me.
Yeah, like “jab”.
Great bar story. Lol!
