Last week a naked man was found completely covered in mud clinging to the landing gear of a plane at at Manila airport’s terminal 1 by gate 6. He was spotted in the early morning hours by a security guard who noticed the tight grip – and lack of clothes. Airport Police responded and arrested the man.

According to the Manila International Airport Authority’s General Manager,

I don’t know where he passed through, but airport authorities are investigating all possible routes—including perimeter canals and maintenance access points.

It’s believed he gained access via drainage canals near the runway, given the muddy condition in which he was found.

The airport authority is inspecting vulnerabilities, adding fencing around the tarmac, and has ordered reinforcement of entry points – especially since this isn’t the first breach at the airport this year. A young boy ran onto the runway, fascinated by runway lights.

Then again just in the last few weeks a naked woman at Dallas – Fort Worth airport screamed and smashed a drink at the gate D4 boarding door and a woman undressed at a Spirit Airlines gate in Fort Lauderdale, ending up topless as police intervened. Neither were covered in mud clutching an aircraft, though.
