Lol!! Man found slept in engine intake!

Vietnam authorities fined an airport management company for lax security that allowed a man to fall sleep in the engine intake of an aircraft that was about to take off, an official said Thursday.

The drunk 30-year-old got onto the runway October 14 of Buon Me Thuot airport in the Central Highlands and approached an Airbus 320 that was waiting to take off.

The plane's captain saw the man, turned the engines off and alerted airport authorities. When officials arrived, they discovered the man asleep in the right engine intake.

The flight was delayed nearly an hour and a half.

The Ministry of Transport's Inspection Agency fined Buon Me Thuot Airport 25 million dong (1,250 dollars) for not arranging sufficient security to protect the runway and endangering the safety of planes, said Nguyen Xuan Hao, the agency's chief inspector.

'The incident happened two months ago, but the decision has just been made as it takes time to investigate,' Hao said.
