Years ago that happened here. NO one saw the guy get on the wing. He fell as the plane was starting to ascend and hit one of the fences.

He wasn't identified for almost 10 years.

Red Bull gave him wings!





If you're goin' through hell, keep on going.
Don't slow down. If you're scared don't show it.
You might get out before the devil even knows you're there.

Yep, when it comes to airplanes, Nigeria Man is going to have to replace Florida Man in all the best stories.

These people are obviously intelligent. We should fly them here in great numbers for the benefit to our society.

Was he pulling wires out of the wing before he fell?

From the article-

“He then jumped onto a wing of the plane and tried to access the cabin”.

He had about as much chance getting on board as surviving riding on the outside of the plane. Zero.

At least the pilots were kind enough to shut down the engines.

Don’t you make radio calls to the asphalt surface V-Tail?

Frequently, but I rarely receive a response. I might have missed a hand-off with a frequency change.

Lucky he didn't go flipping off the wing into the engine when the brakes engaged.
