I need a Darwin Awards category:
Naked Canadian man tries to jump on to moving QANTAS jet.
This guy tried to buy a one-way ticket from LA to Melbourne on QF 94 which leaves late night LA time. Surprisingly (not) he was refused. So he strips off, jumps over the fence and runs TOWARDS the taxi-ing 747 and shinnies up the wheel well.
Luckily for him, he was spotted and the crew stopped the aircraft and he was retrieved. If they hadn't seen him he would have fallen out when the doors opened to retract the gear and Darwin would have awarded another posthumous fool.
I wonder what he was on.
UPDATE: John points out some interesting security implications of this stunt. Like how a guy, naked or otherwise, manages to scale a barbed-wire fence of the proportions of the LAX perimeter fencing, and what else he could have achieved once out there on the tarmac.
John also wonders how he was able to protect his assets whilst climbing said fence.
