11 year old boards plane without passport, tickets, or boarding pass - Polidicks

[B]An 11-year-old boy boarded a plane from Manchester to Rome on his own without a passport, tickets or boarding pass.[/B] He mingled with families to get through checks in Terminal 1 on Tuesday. He was found mid-air on the Jet2 plane after passengers became suspicious. The airline said no head count was carried out on this flight and they would now become mandatory. A Manchester Airport spokesman said a number of airline staff had been suspended. Transport Secretary Justine Greening said it was "incredibly concerning". The youngster had been shopping with his mother at Wythenshawe Civic Centre when he went missing. Staff at the centre were alerted and checked CCTV which showed the boy leaving the complex before he made his way to the airport. The airport spokesman said the boy passed through security checks but was not asked to show any documentation. The boy went straight to the nearest aircraft that was boarding - the flight to Rome. The spokesman said: "It is clear that documentation has not been checked correctly at security and the boarding gate. "The boy went through full security screening, so the safety of passengers and the aircraft was never compromised." Ms Greening said: "I treat security breaches very, very seriously indeed, so we are now reviewing urgently with Manchester Airport, and indeed the airline, exactly what happened." A spokesperson for Jet2.com said: "On Tuesday an 11-year-old boy cleared security at Manchester Airport, without the necessary paperwork but had been through a full security search. "The boy then boarded our flight bound for Rome. "We have launched a full investigation into what is a serious incident, and the staff involved have been suspended pending the outcome. "The boy has been returned safely to his family." [B] He stayed on board the plane when it landed at Rome Fiumicino Airport and was flown back to Manchester when the plane returned on Tuesday evening.[/B] [url]http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-manchester-18979032[/url]

Truly, he is a master of deception. Wonder why he would do that, though.

[quote]"The boy went through full security screening, so the safety of passengers and the aircraft was never compromised."[/quote] well no fucking shit shir-lock its an ELEVEN YEAR OLD.

[QUOTE=Persecution;36928732]I bet the TSA shit themselves.[/QUOTE] english locations, mentions of cctv, and english spellings and you still managed to not know where the subject of the article took place. congrats

[QUOTE=Laferio;36928766]well no fucking shit shir-lock its an ELEVEN YEAR OLD.[/QUOTE] an eleven year old can still have a bomb or shit in him.

[QUOTE=MountainWatcher;36928824]an eleven year old can still have a bomb or shit in him.[/QUOTE] If he's 11, most likely just shit.

[QUOTE=themodtester;36928723]Truly, he is a master of deception. Wonder why he would do that, though.[/QUOTE] Kids do strange things. When I was the same age in school, some girls in my year decided they would run away from school. They took a train to Heathrow airport and then realized they couldn't get on a plane and had no money for a return train ticket :v:

I'm kind of impressed he made it that far, actually.

I like how it was only after he was *on the plane in flight* that someone thought to alert the attendants that a random 10 year old kid was on the flight with no parental guardian.

[QUOTE=Laferio;36928766]well no fucking shit shir-lock its an ELEVEN YEAR OLD.[/QUOTE] It has happened many times terrorists teaches children to carry bombs on themselfs and detonate them inside airports. This world is full of terror, everything can be a threat these days

Why did he DO that

[QUOTE=MightyMax;36929201]what the fuck is this[/QUOTE] I think I get it! It's a board in diapers, meaning a [B]year old board[/B], and there's [B]11[/B] of them. Do I get a cookie?

[QUOTE=MightyMax;36929201]what the fuck is this[/QUOTE] I quite like it. Disturbing as it is.

[QUOTE=MightyMax;36929201]what the fuck is this[/QUOTE] A sick weirdo captured a headcrab and cut of it's legs with the knife. he got 10 more headcrabs left to experiment on. Aguu is a bad translation of the headcrab's scream for help.

[QUOTE=themodtester;36928723]Truly, he is a master of deception. Wonder why he would do that, though.[/QUOTE] Somebody lost a bet I think. :v:

Everyone probably assumed that the kid was with the adult coming behind or going infront of him, I can sort of imagine the boy just calmly walking throught all those checkpoints and no-one giving a thought about it because the kid wasn't panicking or anything.

Here's an update with a some bits from the kid: [url]http://www.skynews.com.au/topstories/article.aspx?id=776156[/url] [quote=Sky News]An 11-year-old who flew from Manchester to Rome without a passport or boarding pass says he was not challenged by a single member of staff. Liam Corcoran-Fort said he was not asked for any documentation as he made his way onto the Jet2.com flight at Manchester Airport. The youngster had wandered away from his mother during a shopping trip on Tuesday before travelling to the airport on a bus after finding a ticket on the floor. Liam told The Sun newspaper he needed the toilet so decided to head into Terminal 1 of the transport hub. He said he walked through a body scanner and metal detector. The youngster then passed through a gate onto Jet2.com flight LS791 without being asked to show his boarding stub to cabin crew. Liam said: 'There were lots of people but I didn't speak to anyone. I followed where people were going and then at the barrier I went underneath it. 'I didn't have anything on me and and no-one asked me for anything. I just carried on walking.' The schoolboy added: 'I just wanted to go to the toilet. I wasn't trying to go anywhere I wasn't allowed. But it was easier than my homework, even easier than computer games.' A Manchester Airport spokesman said once passengers became aware Liam was on his own, airline staff were alerted and the plane's captain informed the authorities. The youngster remained on board after landing at Rome and returned to Manchester on the same plane. He was met by his mother, Mary, around 9pm on Tuesday. The 29-year-old said: 'I can't get my head around it. How did he get that far without anyone asking him one question?' Five staff from Manchester Airport and Jet2.com have been suspended while an investigation takes place, according to The Sun. A Manchester Airport spokesman said: 'This extremely serious matter is now being urgently investigated by officials from the airport and airline. 'It is clear that documentation has not been checked correctly at security and the boarding gate. 'The boy went through full security screening so the safety of passengers and the aircraft was never compromised.'[/quote]

why not?

[QUOTE=Stormcharger;36939571]why not?[/QUOTE] There are definitely above average smartness kids, so he could've done it the stealth way, but the article says otherwise.

[QUOTE=Amplar;36929119]sorry, this is what i thought of when i read the title [IMG]http://puu.sh/LB8c[/IMG][/QUOTE] Weird, I thought it meant 11 year old kid got on a plane. I must just be an idiot.

"Alright I give up, where were you hiding?" "Rome."

[QUOTE=Stormcharger;36939571]why not?[/QUOTE] Because he wouldn't compare how hard it is with his games and stuff. It probably was the reporter asking "How easy was it to get on the plane" "Really easy" "Easier than your homework?"... and then just stitching it together.

[QUOTE=jaykray;36939499]There is no way an 11 year old said that.[/QUOTE] Most probably this is the way article was interpretated (how do you spell it goddamit)
