Two men get so drunk that they wind up in Moscow
Don't cha just love the idea of airport security?
Two drunken Germans, apparently looking for a toilet during a conference at Frankfurt airport, got on a plane by mistake and flew to Moscow. The 20-year-old men were wandering round the airport when they found themselves on the tarmac, where they boarded a shuttle bus which drove to an aircraft bound for the Russian capital.
On arrival in Moscow, they noticed it was cold and realized they had no passports, let alone entry visas. Russian police put them on a flight back to Frankfurt, where they were met by Federal Border Police who have charged them with joyriding.
"They weren't even at the airport to fly anywhere. They were at a conference and had been walking around, evidently in a drunken stupor," said Frankfurt state prosecutor Job Tilmann. [Madville.com]
