What happens in Vegas is not what happened in Vegas for this – a man climbed on the airplane wing, and after a hard fall put a bandage on his head … can only be found by handcuffs from below.
He landed at McCarthy Airport this Saturday, where an Alaska Airlines flight bound for Portland found an unwelcome visitor who stopped him from taking off. It was this dumb man who said he hadn’t come out of nowhere – but somehow moved towards the wing.

People cheered everyone on when they sat there in a weird way. Eventually the police were called and an attempt was made to stop the man – but it was difficult, as officers had to measure the plane manually and get out on the wing with it.

The man didn’t want to go in peace, as you can see … he avoided the police and even went ahead with the help of the wing. After that, he removed his socks and shoes – threw them on the runway – and tried and proceeded to clip what little wing was left to catch.
Long story short … it doesn’t end well for this spread. He lost his grip and then fell to the ground, where he first hit his head on the head and then licked like a ragling. The cuffs didn’t do the hashtags though – they punched him and threw him on the cuffs. Reports say he was arrested.

The Las Vegas Metro Police Department also said they believe the man attacked the perimeter fence at McCaran and fled the scene. They said he might also have mental problems.
There is no word on his condition – but all we can say is … oh.
