Man trapped in Cargo Hold.....tabloid!

Now Im not gonna write the whole thing out, cos its just a waste of space and proof (if we didnt need it) that tabloids havnt a clue!

An Aer Lingus baggage handler had a last minute escape as a plane bound for New York prepared to take off, with him trapped in the cargo hold.

The incident happened yesterday morning at Dublin airport as flight EI105 was preparing to leave for JFK.

The frantic worker tried banginf ont he door of the luggage hold but the noise of the planes engines drowned out his efforts.

The BOEING (yes, its says Boeing) plane moved off its stand and had started to taxi towards the runway.

But the quick-thinking worker had his mobile phone and took a chance that he would get a signal inside the hold. He rand his collegues and told them of his prediciament. The a/c was stopped and he got out, the flight was delayed by about 20 mins.

A source told 'the star' he was 'very lucky'

Thrers more, but my hands are sore from typing such crap! Just for the record, was it 1993 that Aer Lingus stopped flying t/a with Boeing a/c?

Ah, you got to love the tabloids!!
