Runaway 7 Yr Old Takes Train to Airport, Boards Plane Without Ticket
Highlights and headlines:
- This weekend I was talking to fellow travelers and marvelled at the guy who flew multiple times as an unaccompanied minor when he was only 3. This girl is even more impressive! The seven-year-old escaped her parents, took the train one stop to the Geneva airport and managed to board a plane without a ticket.
“On her first attempt she followed a crew toward the plane and was turned back. She melted into the crowd and pretended to look for her parents. The second time, she managed to get into a plane, was spotted by an official, stopped, and handed over to police.”
- Twitter is often a great way to get speedy customer service, but maybe not in this case. NBA star Seven Adams pinged NASA and Bill Nye for answers on what flattened the nose of his plane 30,000 ft up.
Hey @NASA @neiltyson @BillNye
We had a rough flight to say the least.30000 feet in the air.
