... he opened an aircraft door and walking out onto the wing of the plane while it was taxiing to get to the gate.

It happened Thursday morning at Chicago's O'Hare International Airport on United Airlines flight 2478 coming from San Diego.

" CPD arrived and placed him into custody. Charges are pending," Chicago Police said.

Is it just me, or have these crazy incidents actually increased since they stopped serving alchohol in the main cabin?

I have a theory that people who are nervous about flying are loading up on drugs preflight to compensate.

Nothing else can explain this type of completely irrational behavior - it’s way beyond being dumb or self entitled. 

I feel for todays pilots and flight crew. It’s worse than being a bouncer at a bar. 

He was chasing a Gremlin he saw on tha' wing....

More than the passengers, I would worry a lot more if I saw these pilots in the cockpit!


What angers me most is the third video, where I don't understand why the cops didn't arrest that pilot.
