That was tense indeed. Kudos to all pilots, air traffic controlelrs and law enforcement personnel! Watch similar situation in Atlanta --> th-cam.com/video/0zob5vHSDNc/w-d-xo.html
No, not kudos to ALL of the pilots, only, most of them. Who’s the moron from WorldWide asking how long the delay is going to be? IDK, let me check my delay list under, “man on wing.” Really? This is the kind of stuff that drives me crazy. I mention that there is a problem on the airport for whatever reason, and no one is moving. Two seconds later, some idiot calls me ready for taxi. Do you not listen to what’s happening on frequency before you call? Ugh! I’m sorry, I know I should be more patient with pilots, but some things just grind my gears. ‘Is there flow time to LGA, JFK, ATL? ‘ You’re kidding, right? Maybe my expectations are just unrealistically high. My rant is now over.
sharklets are tall yes also you can walk under a 737 and especially a airbus319-320 really easy gotta be careful with sharklets when wing walking they can cut alot of things easily
@@josephdale69 They're not idiots. They may not have been on frequency from the start, so not have known the whole situation, maybe didn't know where the Alaskan was. They've got a job to do as well and they need a reason to tell their company about why they're delayed. Once they ask and get denied, then they can tell company that information.
@@MilkBoy17520 I disagree. I’m a Captain at a major airline in the United States. This was a plane on the active runway with a crazy passenger on top of the wing, the last thing I would want to do is an intersection departure in front of the plane. With your jet blast blowing on all of the police behind the departing plane. There is nothing to explain to the company. The controller told them what was going on. The pilots most likely had a commute to catch after they landed. If you think this was a smart move, you are even a bigger idiot. The guy on the wing could have been a terrorist or armed and the last thing you would want to do is move closer. The only explaining they would have to do is if ATC approved their departure.
That is all from this pollution, the poor thing can't migrate on its own anymore, so it tries to use a plane... Its all survival! Next thing, Anglia will make an episode about its species.
Bill Lumbergh would say: Alaska, what's happening? So, if you could shut down the engines that would be great. And I am going to go ahead and make sure Ground calls you as well, to tell you to shut down those engines - m`Kay?
Probably just tuned in and didn't hear the (entire) message. It could also just be protocol to announce your intentions when you join a channel, I'm not sure.
That would be the first message they would send out after switching to the frequency. It's likely that any prior communications with ATC would have taken place before the incident began or was understood by everyone, so they likely did not have any idea what was happening.
Yes I will believe that a dude (out his mind) on wing of plane,I heard eventually fell off got hurt called ambulance 🚔🚑and psychiatrist. Now in ward 😵💫locked up in security, 🤯🧔🏥talkg to 👋 himself, according to psych,he has illusions of flying 😳, without 😳 a plane✈️should b here for a while,protest very loudly🏨
I think its also so the seal on the wing doors arent broken because then that flight would be cancelled immediately so maintenance can re seal the door
Its because everyone on that plane has gone through security. They don’t want any people who haven’t gone through security making it on the flight without them noticing. So instead, they opt to keep the doors from preventing that from happening.
Keeping safe also served to potentially save the company a ton of money. Had the nitwit been ingested into a running engine, that engine would need to be torn down and inspected. They'd also need to find another aircraft for the flight, or cancel it altogether. Smart handling by the pilots.
The pilot on the alaskavdid everything according to safety and protocol tomprotect an man not responsible and safety of the airport.why would pilots want to takeoff and put all injeopardy,alasks pilot did the right call

"How much of a delay do you expect?" Well Worldwide 93, since this happens so often, our SOP tells us approx 10-15 mins to get a drug-induced individual off the wing.
Ladies and gentlemen, hope you all had a great stay in Vegas. Before we take off on the right side you can see the strip, on the left side you can see a guy climbing onto our wing, that’s not a sight you can always see in Vegas, so have your phones out and take some good photos and video of that..
Have you ever been at a traffic light when a bug lands on your window and then you take off to see how long it stay on the window. That's all this guy wanted, he wanted to be that bug on the wing to see how long he can stay on it.
there's a video like this with a big spider, it crawls to the side at some point and somehow reappeared inbetween the glass layers of the window to protect itself from the wind
They probably would be unaware since they just started up and got on the ground frequency. They wouldn’t have heard about this commotion since the radios were either off or on a different frequency

I remember when this type of incident happened at Hartsfield International Atlanta PD was a lot faster responding than Las Vegas Metro., it was almost like they treated this as a training exercise and nobody remembered the script
They didn't call for them until after the subject was climbing on the aircraft. They did call for a county vehicle whatever that is, so probably some worthless( in this kind of situation) airport worker. You can hear the radio traffic clearly. Of course it takes a bit of actual knowledge to figure it out.
I once had a very similar situation near EDDH (Hamburg, Germany). I was having a picnic with friends in the city park right underneath the approach of RW33 and a stray cat sat down on my lap. I can assure you that’s a very uncomfortable situation given that you don’t know what it’s intentions are.

You know, I kive in Vegas and always drove past the airport and thought "damn it would be easy to get out there!" Never got wasted enough to follow through though😂
It's worrying that security didn't notice him getting over the fence I've had a security guard question me once when I was just spotting standing close to the fence
I find it more alarming that - particularly in this day and age - he seemed to so easily get onto the airfield, let alone as far as an active runway without being apprehended! I'd consider that a serious breach of security protocols which urgently need reviewing.
It's very difficult to patrol that large of a perimeter based on available LEO officers. Mind you they are responsible for the whole complex short of TSA crimes.
@@martintheiss4038 So the city LEO officers are responsible for internal and perimeter security? Wouldn't an international airport like Las Vegas have its own armed security officers internally? Having seen this over the last year or two on VAS both in this one and previously at Atlanta and also LAX, which are all major international hubs, one would hope that any 'Tangos' scouring the US looking for soft targets never realise how easy it is to get past the perimeter and to the aircraft! 😲
@@paulsinclair3401 technically they do. In order to be police fire or medical employees at US airports you need to be specifically trained to understand aspects of airport operations such as how to drive around the tarmac. They are sworn LV Metro police and paid as LV Metro only out of respect that the airport authority is not authorized to hire police as such.
"ladies and gentlemen, this is your captain speaking. i apologize for the delay, but in true Vegas fashion, a drunk man has climbed onto the wings of another plane by the runway. security has been called, to fine him for refusing to heed the fasten seatbelts sign, and delta has been called to drag him off the plane. We don't have a wheels up time yet, but we'll keep you updated as we learn more."
I'm feeling like it's a bad 80s romcom and this dude's love was on that plane and he did what he could to get her attention... ...it didn't Pan Pan Pan out like it does in Hollywood.
I'm genuinely curious to know how he got up on the wing. As commercial planes are HUGE, and their wings are high off the ground. Must be one hell of a climber
I think that Southwest at the beginning was the same pilot that had the engine explosion while midair with a person that flew out the window, or at least has a very similar voice
@@childish8469 Spirit doesn’t give a damn, he definitely over .08, probably thought a white, green and blue livery was a bright yellow flying highlighter..

I worked reservations for a major airline and flew a lot of non-rev (free but standby) flights from PHX to SBA...only about a 90 min flight. Many times I heard the flight attendants joke, "Smoking is prohibited on all our flights. Failing to comply with crew instructions or tampering with smoke detectors will get you a seat on the wing, where our inflight movie will be 'Gone with the Wind'." Always got a few nervous "heheheh"s out of everyone!
That's a great one no seat go for the wing can't guarantee you will have it after runng down the runway possibly a short seat them a big and very (bump)and lost his seat he was having a bed day putting it mildly😦😭🥱I need a bandaid✈️😰

From far it looks like max. 3fts.
sharklets are tall yes also you can walk under a 737 and especially a airbus319-320 really easy gotta be careful with sharklets when wing walking they can cut alot of things easily
Same here!
You should see the ones on a 767. They are something like 11ft tall 🤣

Harrison Ford: "GET OFF MY PLANE!!"
Keep him AWAY from planes.....please !
I think that the Alaska pilots had a better handle of the situation then anyone else.
I thought the vehicles did a good job. It was the controller that seemed questionable. Taxiing away from the individual did not seem like good advice!

Mw3?
I love how ATC is directing the plane around the runway to avoid the individual like he's directing two planes in the air to avoid a collision.
3:04 "Okay, that's interesting"
Lost my shit right there.
I remember when this type of incident happened at Hartsfield International Atlanta PD was a lot faster responding than Las Vegas Metro., it was almost like they treated this as a training exercise and nobody remembered the script
It was definitely a poor response, with much delay and poor planning how to get the guy down. Vegas sucks.
They didn't call for them until after the subject was climbing on the aircraft. They did call for a county vehicle whatever that is, so probably some worthless( in this kind of situation) airport worker. You can hear the radio traffic clearly. Of course it takes a bit of actual knowledge to figure it out.
I read about this yesterday. I knew you’d have something up today. 👍
Yes incident happened 1330 US Pacific Time
“Captain Oveur, there’s a man on the wing!” “Surely you can’t be serious!” “Yes I am, and don’t call me Shirley!”
What’s our vector victor?
"The tower, we might have encountered an incident" "An incident! What is it?" "It is an unexpected event, but that's not important right now"
Guy on wing: Hey! You're Kareem Abdul Jabar!
@@mli3014 what's the incident 🤔 just curious 🤔
@ 3:36.....I love it, "you guys are selling the wing now?"
Maybe at the auction
I once had a very similar situation near EDDH (Hamburg, Germany). I was having a picnic with friends in the city park right underneath the approach of RW33 and a stray cat sat down on my lap. I can assure you that’s a very uncomfortable situation given that you don’t know what it’s intentions are.
Just because something happened near an airport doesn't make it a very similar situation 😂😂
@@Rocco-tb9ih pretty sure Martin was joking😐
@@IrisRiedel6 almost certain he wasn't 😐
@@IrisRiedel6 Yeah he was definitely joking.
You made me laugh.
Was William Shatner on this flight by any chance?
nice!
I was wondering when someone would post this in the comments. Thank you!
There's something on...the wing...something!
I’m blanking on that reference. What is it, if you don’t mind saying
Wait. Was that Shatner on the Twilight Zone episode?
No need to wear a mask if you fly on the wing.
But plane should be 38 k feet in air going about 600 mph. Not normal.
Oxygen mask maybe xD
Love that answer.has the whole universe on the wing
If he sat on wing,on take off,been:gone with the wind:end of movie
Turbofan pilots: I don't want to harm my engines
Turboprop pilots: COWABUNGA IT IS

I've actually flown on Alaska Airlines 1367 from Las Vegas to Portland before.
I may have, too. Been to Vegas twice, but I don't remember my return flight numbers. Both times on Alaska.
@@HeidiKohne that's cool. Alaska Airlines is a great airline.
I'm more impressed with the fact that this dude went face first from the top of the wing to the runway and didn't die!
Drunk people are bouncy.
Oh he broke his nose!help I need hel🚑help is here🧑🚒🏥which hospital
I'm sure his face was black and bles,broke ,bloody nose,and 😢 🤢😰oh help me,security 👮say dr and psych 🧔🕵on way to takr u to a special room at hospital 🏥🚔,oh no I won't go,security said u will go.🚑said and in ambulance. Most likely spend some time there😭oh my goodness,I did it again
You know, I kive in Vegas and always drove past the airport and thought "damn it would be easy to get out there!" Never got wasted enough to follow through though😂
It's worrying that security didn't notice him getting over the fence
I've had a security guard question me once when I was just spotting standing close to the fence
What r y looking at?just daydreaming
Just saw this on the news today and was wondering when this is gonna appear on the channel. Not disappointed.
I find it more alarming that - particularly in this day and age - he seemed to so easily get onto the airfield, let alone as far as an active runway without being apprehended!
I'd consider that a serious breach of security protocols which urgently need reviewing.
It's very difficult to patrol that large of a perimeter based on available LEO officers. Mind you they are responsible for the whole complex short of TSA crimes.
@@martintheiss4038 So the city LEO officers are responsible for internal and perimeter security? Wouldn't an international airport like Las Vegas have its own armed security officers internally?
Having seen this over the last year or two on VAS both in this one and previously at Atlanta and also LAX, which are all major international hubs, one would hope that any 'Tangos' scouring the US looking for soft targets never realise how easy it is to get past the perimeter and to the aircraft! 😲
@@paulsinclair3401 technically they do. In order to be police fire or medical employees at US airports you need to be specifically trained to understand aspects of airport operations such as how to drive around the tarmac. They are sworn LV Metro police and paid as LV Metro only out of respect that the airport authority is not authorized to hire police as such.
@@martintheiss4038 Thanks for that Martin.....
We need to defund the police for black people.
"I missed the flight? Here...hold my beer...."!
"ladies and gentlemen, this is your captain speaking. i apologize for the delay, but in true Vegas fashion, a drunk man has climbed onto the wings of another plane by the runway. security has been called, to fine him for refusing to heed the fasten seatbelts sign, and delta has been called to drag him off the plane. We don't have a wheels up time yet, but we'll keep you updated as we learn more."
He's out on the wing because United kicked him off for not wearing a mask...
"Delta...called to drag him off the plane." Beauty!! You win the internet today in my books :)
And SouthWest declined to take him to Dallas!!!
Delta? Wasn't that United?
@@Ronald.Golleher he's a little off
I'm feeling like it's a bad 80s romcom and this dude's love was on that plane and he did what he could to get her attention...
...it didn't Pan Pan Pan out like it does in Hollywood.
Underrated pun right there. 👍
@@jayschafer1760 Thank you thank you. LOL
Pan Pan Pan......great comment
"He just wants a job" lmao that cracked me up
At the end the man was right. He has an ultra low price seat on the wing. Alaskan people are used to windy and cold weather
ATC: Do whatever you need to do.
My twisted mind: TOGA set
Yes! I wondered when we would get to hear this!
Perfect way of social distancing from other passengers
Nice to see there were Air Marshals on board.
The claustrophobia and anxiety on those flights must have been beyond the tipping point.
I'm genuinely curious to know how he got up on the wing. As commercial planes are HUGE, and their wings are high off the ground. Must be one hell of a climber
Umm my guess is the engine possibly because the pilot had shut down the engines so climbing up on them would be no problem im assuming
He could of at least done the thriller dance up there. LEGEND
Should have done a dance with bobgo drums for sure🚔⛸️or roller skating
The Southwest seemed like he had no idea how to react LOL
"Ooookay, that's interesting..."
Mayb he wasn't aware of a dopey dude on wing of alaska plane 😳 missed communication 🙄 ✈️somewhere
When he saw he was on a Max he was like I'm getting F out of here!! I would do the same.
Probsblu drunk
I think that Southwest at the beginning was the same pilot that had the engine explosion while midair with a person that flew out the window, or at least has a very similar voice
just read about this. was hoping you cover it and here it is. thank you!!!
A lost spirt air lines passenger 👍🏽
Now that really made me laugh.
@@josephdale69 I giggled
How do you get lost if its spirit, seriously, how do you miss a flying highlighter.
@@childish8469 Spirit doesn’t give a damn, he definitely over .08, probably thought a white, green and blue livery was a bright yellow flying highlighter..
@@zaviationn dude on wing
How did he even REACH the wing to get on?
He probably was so high on something he just floate🪂
I googled the makes and yearbof plane it's 10 ft from top of wing to ground where guy fell,got a bump I'm sure
10 ft drop from wing to grd accg when I googled the plane,got a black eye I'm sure
Stilts maybe🚶♂️🤸
I'm surprised that it's even possible to get onto the wing from the ground. How high is that?
Yeah i thought the same
Stepped on the front nacelle of the engine?
would of climbed up from #1 nacelle
Thanks to B737's low clearance for the ground
B737 are quite low to the ground so he must of known his aircraft types lol
Jesus!!! The Captain asked for law enforcement about 10 times!!!
LAS TWR - Alaska 1367 you are cleared to do whatever you need to do.
ASA 1367 - Tempting, but that would be an annoying engineering report to write, we'll shut 'em down.
"How'd he get up there?" Unknown at 7:06, "He just wants a job"
So another Pilot was on that same frequency and chimed in with that epic one liner? I imagine Personnel try to minimize "small talk" whenever possible
@@PeteSanctions theres been pilots on the same frequency who were like 1000ft apart or something and just had a casual conversation for a minute or so
What happens in Vegas....ends up on the internet.
"you guys are selling the wing now" ha!
As reported will use sell 🏆 wing at auction 👋 highest bidder gets wing🛬just half😁
ATC: “Yeah nobody’s taxing at all until we get this figured out.”
SWA31: Immediately informs ATC that they are taxiing 😂
We been taxing all morn😬didn't anybody know 👮
Also in the video spirit was taxiing 💀
Cops just hand him a number for him to ring.. 🤣
It sounds like it took too long to get LE there IMO. And then they didn't really have an idea what to do when they got there.
Agreed. I hear the Looney Toons theme in the back ground!
It seemed 🤔 👍 forever to get security 🤔 there and then how to get 👋 off but dude solved 😉 it by fallg,cancel(stairs)dude solved 😉 it by himself
I'm impressed... How the hell did he get up there! 🤔😀 I guess he was already quite high to begin with... 😆
Maybe he parachuted to wing bottle of champagne on ✋️
Wow! Just when you think you've heard everything...
1:26 Hey it’s Tammie Jo Schults in the SWA 4712!! She’s awesome 😎
It's not. She retired.
@@leardvr fooled me! Good info, though! Thanks!
Tammie is an awesome lady and a champion pilot
Everyone: it's fully booked
Guy: I'll be on the wing
I worked reservations for a major airline and flew a lot of non-rev (free but standby) flights from PHX to SBA...only about a 90 min flight. Many times I heard the flight attendants joke, "Smoking is prohibited on all our flights. Failing to comply with crew instructions or tampering with smoke detectors will get you a seat on the wing, where our inflight movie will be 'Gone with the Wind'." Always got a few nervous "heheheh"s out of everyone!
That's the best😫
That's a great one no seat go for the wing can't guarantee you will have it after runng down the runway possibly a short seat them a big and very (bump)and lost his seat he was having a bed day putting it mildly😦😭🥱I need a bandaid✈️😰
Don't forget ur superman suit,have a feeling u migh
Night need ur superman suit good luck.in case u don't make it,did u have a will somewhere for family?🚳💟❣️so sorry about ur misfortune
7:06 "He just wants a job" 😂
Wing walking: It's not for everyone.
Be stable on ur feet,1 requirement,you have to be 😔 Sober,it's not so bed fellow,try it u might like it
Be 😔
@@irisfields1659 Nope 😅
I would have loved to have seen the Alaska pilot's face and reaction to this weirdo running at his plane and climbing on top of it.
Did they have go back to gate to get the wing checked out.
Probably
I read elsewhere that they did. Total of a 4-hour delay. Landed in Portland okay.
Everyone involved, "I didn't sign up for this S***t!"
Legend has it that they’re still requesting taxi after being told nobody is taxiing
That one pilot that keeps trying to be funny, and everyone's like 😑😑
It's just debris like plastic bags or glass bottles that happened to be dropped outside of areas authorized for them.
What a strange guidance from the control tower...!!!...A big plane like that cannot just run away from this guy ...!!!...There got to be guidelines for such events, no matter how infrequent it may happen..!!!
