At first it sounds like a typical case of bad behavior aboard airplanes.

The Mexico City International Airport acknowledged in a statement Friday that a man had opened an emergency exit and walked out on a wing of a plane that was parked and waiting for takeoff Thursday.

The airport said the man had been turned over to police.

But dozens of fellow passengers signed a written copy of a statement saying the airline made them wait for four hours without ventilation or water while the flight was delayed. According to photos of the statement posted online, fellow passengers said he acted “to protect everyone, with the support of everyone.”

      It quite literally says exactly what happened, no more no less, without putting the entire story in the headline. No bias. No Fluff. No clickbait.

        First sentence yea, it says what happened.

        The second sentence absolutely not. That’s where it got click baity and fluff. It’s all about withholding and misdirection.

          I read the first sentence as the plane being in flight. Second sentence cleared that up.

            It says nothing about it being in flight in any of the title.

      Number 10 - he didn’t know if he’d actually get caught or not, so he thought he’ll try and wing it
