Australia Woman Running Onto Tarmac, to Catch Missed Flight
A woman was detained after going out onto an airport runway in an apparent attempt to prevent a plane from departing without her.
Witnesses in the vicinity of the area captured the occurrence on camera. It happened on Wednesday night at Canberra Airport in Australia. The QantasLink aircraft is shown in the video, evidently trying to attract the pilot’s attention right before takeoff, with the unexpected airside wanderer standing next to it.
The woman was accused of two counts of property damage, one offense of unauthorized entry into a security zone, and one crime of small-scale cannabis possession.
The occurrence was characterized as “bizarre” by eyewitness Simon Hales. “A woman decided she could make it even though she had obviously missed her flight. pushed through the security personnel at the door, dashed over the tarmac, and went up to the aircraft,” he said on social media.
Literally, he said, standing beneath it next to the front wheel. Fortunately, the pilot saw her or received a warning before killing the engine.”
Fellow witness Dennis Bilic, who recorded the absurd event on camera, said, “People were a bit flat-footed, they didn’t seem to know what to do.” “Is anyone going to stop her?” was our thought.
