US Airways Dividend Miles - naked pax causes diversion

I haven't seen this one before.

I presume the man was loco.

You know, if they ever require background checks to weed out jihadists, I hope they screen for insanity as well.

Something tells me this isn't the first time the guy did something, um, strange.

Who says US Airways doesn't have in flight entertainment?;)

This was a cry for help. I hope he gets appropriate assitance.

Was he connecting from a NZ flight (http://www.examiner.com/x-3201-Orlando-Airlines-Examiner~y2009m7d1-Bare-Essentials-of-Safety--Air-New-Zealands-nude-safety-video)?

:eek: There are just some flights I'm glad I'm not on.

Like any US Airways flights, for instance.

I'd confess but its been at least a week since I last did something like this... :p

I'm sure he just got confused when instructed to stow ALL of his personal belongings under the seat in front of him...


Seriously though, it's always the ones you would never want to see naked, isn't it?

Apparently the guy was dancing in the boarding area before the flight.

I guess that didn't raise enough suspicions to bounce him. :)

After his arrest, he claimed he forgot to take his medications. I'm sure everyone is shocked to hear this. :)

There was also apparently a medical emergency on board the same flight. It was apparently the medical matter that caused the plane to divert. It's unclear whether the naked guy would have otherwise continued his transcon trip (in handcuffs).

I guess US needs a policy for this -- do you divert if someone takes off all their clothes?

What a flight, though. All they were missing was a mechanical and a jihadist.

Wow! A little too tastefully done, though. :D

Is case you really want to experience what it would be like to have a naked pax on your flight, here are the photos. Even weirder when you actually see it! Photos are PG rated -- mercifully!

Hopefully they will at least wash the blanket. :D

He didnt realize that Naked Air was departing out of A-10, not B-10.

The good thing for US is that becasue the seats and planes are so filthy the skid marks won't show:D

He was bi-polar (manic depressive) and not taking his meds. It could have been worse.

Yes it could have been a lot worse! He was also traveling the time zones and while for rest of us 3 hour time difference doesn't look much for someone with bi-polar disorder it can be devastating (my adoptive daughter is bi-polar and we experienced this big time on our trip to Europe despite taking meds).

I do have a compassion for the guy if he truly is bi-polar.

Personally, I'm just full of admiration for anybody who has the agility to take his clothes off whilst sitting in an economy seat!
