The flight was prevented from taking off as the whole ordeal lasted for about 45 minutes during which he was seen walking along the plane’s wing and also trying to climb the winglet.
He took his shoes and socks off before losing balance and eventually falling onto the tarmac.

“It was definitely one of the strangest things I've ever seen in my life," Erin Evans, a passenger on the plane, told ABC News.”
