Man climbs onto the wing of an Alaskan Airlines plane moments before take-off

[brooklynite]

A man in Las Vegas was taken into custody on Saturday after climbing upon the wing of an Alaska Airlines plane set to depart from McCarran International Airport.

In video posted on social media, a man can be seen walking on the wing of the airplane on Saturday afternoon around 1:30pm local time.

The man, who has not yet been identified, appears to be without his socks and shoes as he tries to climb up the vertical winglet of the Boeing 737 plane.
