BEGGAR ON AN AIRPLANE

Bizarre footage has emerged on the internet that shows a man holding up a commercial flight by persistently begging passengers for money. The middle-aged man held out a plastic pouch and pleaded for help on board a Qatar Airways flight from Doha to Shiraz, ignoring repeated requests from staff to sit down. Some passengers even gave the man money as he stood in the aisle of the plane, delaying take-off. The man was reportedly from Iran. It was not known how he got on the plane, if he had bought a ticket – which costs around $400 – or if someone bought a ticket for him.
* That’s some crazy good security you got there, Qatar Airways.
* He just wanted money for headphones. Is that so wrong?
* Did he have a cardboard sign? “I’ll sit down when I reach $100”?
* The guy even offered to clean the windshield of the airplane with a spray bottle and a dirty rag.
* I bet he was a plant from the airline, to pick up a few more bucks from the passengers.
* I’ll take a guy begging in the airplane aisle over a guy peeing in the airplane aisle any day.
