All aboard...Man without a ticket sneaks onto flight!?
Did he really think that this was like sneaking into a movie?
It's not often that you hear about a person sneaking onto an aircraft, but we are certain it happens.
But with the world going through so much over the last two-years, perhaps we have all let our guards down when it comes to other forms of international security threats.
One such as terrorism. Now it has not been confirmed that this was this man's intention, but it certainly looked that way to the passengers.
A man who got off a previous flight hid on the jet bridge, we are not sure how he did this without being noticed.
And then he got onto the next flight. He was said to have been hiding on board in view of the stewardesses to locate an empty seat. It looked like he hit homerun as the plane hit the runway, but the pilot stopped and informed the crew that the numbers were not adding up.
"The man was arrested, after a flight attendant asked to see his boarding pass. She said passengers were worried he had left something on the plane and some were asked to remove their luggage from the overhead compartments" (Business Insider)
Of course this caused the passengers to feel uneasy to say the least, with many of them fearing that he in fact had a bomb on the flight.
The pilot did inform them that the man had snuck onboard without a ticket and that he was behaving suspiciously.

Of course it doesn't help that the reasons for his actions were not in fact uncovered.
But luckily the plane was declared safe for travel as security checks were redone and the flight took off to its destination. Which happened to be Manchester, United Kingdom.
