Naked Man Attempts To Storm Cockpit

Naked Passenger Forces Plane to Land
Tue Aug 20, 1:27 PM ET

BRUSSELS, Belgium (AP) - An Air France flight bound for Oslo, Norway, was forced to make an emergency landing in Belgium after a naked passenger tried to storm the cockpit, authorities said Tuesday.

The flight which left Paris shortly before 20.15 local time on Monday was rerouted to Brussels international airport after the 31-year-old stripped off all his clothes at his seat and tried to force his way into the cockpit, officials at the Brussels prosecutor's office said.

The pilot requested help from Belgian air traffic control which allowed the plane to land. The man, a French national of Tunisian origin was removed from the plane and arrested by police. He was later released without being charged.

Authorities did not give his name of the passenger and did not say why he tried to storm the flight deck.


Would the flight have been extended if it was a naked woman instead????

"We apologise for the delay folks but we have been rerouted"

.. I can recall a few overnights where chaps of such persuasion (no names no packdrill) were given to similar flights of fancy ... generally gave all the assembled women a good old belly laugh ..... can be very deflating to a chap's ego ...... what is it the legal chappies say ? ... de minimus non curat lex or something very similar ?

Reminds me of a wonderful DRW overnight with a room cast of thousands playing strip poker ...... I sometimes wonder what Bob is up to these days ... ? .... gave a whole new meaning to answering the door bell ..... I can't for the life of me remember what the TN head hostie did with the sock which she snagged in passing .....

Hey Brother!!!

Not sure about the Vodaphone logo...

Maybe he was just trying to avoid DVT. The Qantas videos recomend exercise on long flights, he was probably looking for a shower after his workout.

Now get back to work before tiny tim gets mad
