Well one man in Lagos, Nigeria recently made headlines after literally trying to catch a free flight by climbing up an aircraft’s wing as it was gearing up to takeoff. He also tried entering in the cabin.

The bizarre incident happened at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport and one of the passengers caught it on film. The short footage quickly went viral on social media after it was shared online.
