This is most definitely a strange one folks. Imagine your taking a flight, with a connection to make, and you decide well I am just going to take a nap. Then you wake up to find yourself in a locked, cold, and shut down plane. Scary to say the least, however, this is exactly what happened to a man from Louisiana.
One Mr.Tom Wagner was taking a flight from Louisiana, with a lay over in Texas, with a final destination of California. He was on his way to see his sister, and his flight was to touch down at Houston Bush Intercontinental airport for layover. As said in an interview after the fact, he sat down, took off his hat, and decided to take a nap. Somehow during this nap the plane de boarded, was locked and shut down without anyone noticing there was still a passenger on board. He woke up Friday night, seated in his window seat at the back in the cold, locked, and deserted plane. "I was like, what's going on? I thought maybe it was a layover, still on the same plane." Tom said during an interview. At first he thought he must be dreaming, but after a few moments of sitting in the pitch black darkness, he quickly realized this was not the case. He then proceeded to make a panicked phone call to his girlfriend, " .. she thought I was crazy. I said, 'Debbie I'm locked on the plane.' I said, 'I'm telling you the truth; you better go somewhere and get me off this plane."
After realizing her loved one was in no way pulling a prank on her, she then proceeded to call the company, United Express. It took roughly a half an hour on the phone, and then staff members of the airline came, and to their astonishment did indeed find a passenger locked on board, Mr. Tom Wagner. The airline reportedly told him to keep it all hush , hush. They put him up in a hotel for the night, wouldn't refund his ticket, but gave him a $250.00 dollar voucher. They made sure he got to his actual destination the next morning.
I don't know about you but this is a shockingly strange and weird story, and quite frankly kind of scary. How would you feel if this happened to you? do you think you would have been able to keep your cool ? What if this happened to someone who had a major health disorder, or a multitude of anxiety disorders. This sounds like something which could have been an absolute hell for such a person, possibly a fatal one. I have got to say, I think this airline has to shape up their policies and procedures because this is pretty ridiculous and things of this nature should not happen.
