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!

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
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.
@@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.
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🏨
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?
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.
"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.
@@kevincollins8014 .... school makes no sense since no one hires them after release and so they wind up back in prison, where they should do actual work. And not just in the kitchen or by passing the time with reading or gym workouts.
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.

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..

I was on a landing Southwest flight at Las Vegas when I saw a law enforcement car going down one of the runways at full speed with lights on. when my flight taxied back out to the runway to leave an hour later the Alaska Airlines plane was there with the ramp at the wing. We didn't know what was happening until now when I found this video.
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 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.
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 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.
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.
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
"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.

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😂
Interesting the voice of the pilot in Southwest 4712 (from 1:26) sure sounded like the pilot (Tammie Jo Shults) who lost an engine and had to make an emergency landing in Philadelphia (one fatality from when the engine exploded & pierced the cabin - flight crew did an amazing job in that incident..).
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
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✈️😰
@@RLTtizME I know "in a minute" means "soon", but at 3:12 Tower said "about a(?) minute - 45 seconds. 45 seconds." That's phrased as an ETA and he confirmed 45 seconds. At 4:47 metro police's already in place but at 5:37, Tower said "law enforcement is en route there", which would have been 2 minutes+ since 3:12, given that the video might have also trimmed some silence.

“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 🤔
Tower: everyone stop taxiing
Swa31: we gonna start taxiing
How about gettg it w way,do we shut down or taxt
I read about this about this a couple of hours ago.....I am glad VAS Aviation posted the video. Great work!
The drama between the lines on this channel is astonishing. As a theatre director, I am just utterly intrigued!
His conduct would makr a movie
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.
Even during all this Southwest still wants to get out on time, pure professionalism.
Why was he in such he was still gettg paid.hurry he was
Stop worrying 😟 about the problem, just shut down your plane and wait till u can start to taxi🛩
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.
Read about this this other day and just knew I had a good Vasvid coming. Thanks for the upload!
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?
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.
3:04 "Okay, that's interesting"
Lost my shit right there.
Much better information than the news media. Thank you.
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.
I read about this yesterday. I knew you’d have something up today. 👍
Yes incident happened 1330 US Pacific Time
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
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
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
@ 3:36.....I love it, "you guys are selling the wing now?"
Maybe at the auction
Me playing MW3 with my friends:
“No I promise they didn’t patch it! I can still get up here”
Mw3?
"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?

Catch 👋 himbf
"He just wants a job" lmao that cracked me up
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'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.
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
"I missed the flight? Here...hold my beer...."!
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
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
The claustrophobia and anxiety on those flights must have been beyond the tipping point.
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.
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😂
"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
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
Just saw this on the news today and was wondering when this is gonna appear on the channel. Not disappointed.
Interesting the voice of the pilot in Southwest 4712 (from 1:26) sure sounded like the pilot (Tammie Jo Shults) who lost an engine and had to make an emergency landing in Philadelphia (one fatality from when the engine exploded & pierced the cabin - flight crew did an amazing job in that incident..).
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
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
What happens in Vegas....ends up on the internet.
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 😅
Perfect way of social distancing from other passengers
I thought only Spirit had seats on the wing?
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
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 💀
just read about this. was hoping you cover it and here it is. thank you!!!
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.
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
Legend has it that they’re still requesting taxi after being told nobody is taxiing
ATC: Do whatever you need to do.
My twisted mind: TOGA set
Yes! I wondered when we would get to hear this!
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
3:36: You guys are selling the wing now?? lol :D
At auction
7:05 “He just wants a job” 😂👍
how did this guy managed to get up in the wing but to get off needed stairs?? lmaoooo
I legitimately would like to know how he got up on the wing - did he climb up via the engine?!
Security at airports is so ridiculous. A fire truck could have responded and removed that guy off the wing much faster.
They said ATCs were giving priority to vaccine shippments in and out of UPS and FedEX hubs and MI today... any recordings of those?
"They said"
Oh god. You're one of those
Who are “they”...
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
"He just wants a job."
Would he be saying that if that was a black man doing that??
Will they take him under there wing?

that was too cute........
It was only a matter of time when someone misunderstood the term of getting on the plane.
How long do Tower think a minute or 45 second is?
@@RLTtizME 45 seconds is a figure of speech? Couldn’t find that on Google
@@speedgraphic I believe he meant, look up 'figure of speech'.
@@RLTtizME I know "in a minute" means "soon", but at 3:12 Tower said "about a(?) minute - 45 seconds. 45 seconds." That's phrased as an ETA and he confirmed 45 seconds. At 4:47 metro police's already in place but at 5:37, Tower said "law enforcement is en route there", which would have been 2 minutes+ since 3:12, given that the video might have also trimmed some silence.
Can u imagine 😳 him in a pilot 💺?unthinkable 😳 we would all b in big time trouble 👋 him flying us to Miami.we. would wind up on top of mt Rushmore and the pilot🌄 the wingwalker✈️who walks on wings
