It's probably a lot cheaper to deal with a corpse than a so called "asylum seeker" - I wonder if associated costs will be passed on to the South Africans along with the body.

These people need to google 'temperature and Oxygen level at 35,000ft' before they travel. :NoNo:

i seen this on news this morning ? the said african airport reported they saw the person scale a fence and run towards the plane as it was on the runway ready for take off ? they sent security to the area but was called off as the plane was starting its take off run down the runway ? OMG ? surely the plane should have been grounded till they found him, he could have been carrying a bomb ? a delay is expensive but lives in the hundreds is not measurable ?

You'd think they'd have shot him...their normal way of dealing with things. :Erm:

Hmm ... :anerikke: ... he may've been a "stowaway" :cwm24: ... but he's a DEAD giveaway in the end! ;)
