I'm happy with owners of the plane though, they could have called for his arrest but they didn't, instead their rightly questioning the Vienna airport as to how he was able to get onto the Tarmac in the first place.

Nic,

Its OK, all I wanted to convey to you is that I understand what's behind these desperate actions and we shouldn’t joke about people like this poor guy.

Dracula,

No man, its just you seem not to admit that in your country (beautiful with very nice people) many (too many) suffer from extreme poverty that leads them to desperately take actions like this poor guy did.

No offense, it’s a very sad reality and we shouldn’t ignore it.

Have you been there, Mr.Nic?

It's a nice and clean country!

A freckin' 20 years old crazy guy stowed away inside landing gear ...DOESN'T MEAN an entire country!

Yes, we have problems, corruption, effects of world crisis everywhere, the skilled people are migrating for a better life!

Yes!

But this isn't a misery! Call it awful reality, or how do you want...but not misery.

Dracula,

You did forget about the real misery in your country!

With monthly allowance (...not too much) for unemployed people he could buy a ticket.

Draccy, why would he buy a ticket? He is Romanian, and therefore an offspring of the Great Dracul....he turned himself into a bat and sat comfortably during the flight ,and once the airplane got ready to land he turned into a human again ...no problem!

Don't tell me you did not know that ;)

The weird thing is that the British authorities let him off with just a warning after his arrest,he claimed that he was looking for work,but we never know.

Qatar should increase the security at the airport, a lot of people may get inspired by this.

Now a days some bank in Qatar is having free flight offer, now i understand what is the meaning of " free flight" so avoid it.

I'll send it again. But the answer is we found a place already, but thanks. ;)

This will probably encourage others looking for a free flight, even if they're putting their own lives at risk :-(
