Naked Man Hides in Plane Wheel Well
LOS ANGELES - A man was charged with trespassing after he stripped naked, scaled a airport fence, ran across the tarmac and climbed into a plane's wheel well before firefighters talked him out, officials said.
The man had earlier tried to buy a ticket for a Qantas Airways flight to Australia with only a credit card receipt. He told authorities at Los Angeles International Airport that he stripped off his clothes Monday to protest the airline's decision to deny him the ticket, airport spokeswoman Nancy Castles said.
The man, Neil Melly, 31, of Canada, suffers from bipolar disorder (also called manic-depressive illness) and had been listed as a missing person in Canada, Castles said. He was booked on a tresspassing charge, and was released from custody Tuesday.
Baggage handlers saw the man climb an 8-foot, barbed-wire fence that separates public and private areas of the airport and run to a departing plane as it backed from the gate. He climbed into a wheel well before the plane stopped.
He ignored police officers' commands to come out, but complied when city firefighters arrived. The Boeing 747, bound for Melbourne, Austrialia, departed an hour late.
Airport authorities will look into improving the fence, said Paul Haney, a spokesman for the agency that operates the airport.

Bipolar disorder? This guy I used to hang out with (about 2 years back), his mother had bipolar disorder. And she wouldn't take her meds either. That's why she treated him like dirt and kicked him out of the house numerous times. Then she went to Kauai and didn't have enough money to come back to Oahu............ man, I feel for that guy.

My X-Roommate had that disorder. It was a terrible thing to see her get worse and worse every day. Finally she got treatment asnd is doing much better after she moved back home to Alaska with her parents.
i doubt that they'll give him a death sentence though...probably life and knowing the american justice system, he'll get out in a few decades on parole
I doubt they will give him the death sentance too. Of course I was surprised they found him guilty at all. I thought it was going to be another O.J. trial too.
