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.”
Godawful clickbait title. YOU’LL NEVER BELIEVE WHY HE WAS ON THE WING OF A PLANE. NUMBER TEN WILL SURPRISE YOU!
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.
It’s clickbaitier than AP standards. Fixed:
Somebody can do it better though
That’s excellent.
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.
I will admit that the headline is more unassuming than most clickbait, but it’s a context issue. The headline doesn’t really address what happened, and it’s obvious that we’re being baited to click through and learn why the passengers “support his actions”.
It’s like a headline saying “He cut open the child’s chest and exposed her beating heart, but her parents support him”, and you have to read the article to learn that he was a heart surgeon.
People were trapped in their seats for over 5 hours without adequate ventilation or hydration, and someone opened the door. Put that in the headline, and save the fact that people side with the decision to open the door in the article.
Number 10 - he didn’t know if he’d actually get caught or not, so he thought he’ll try and wing it
Here’s why that’s a [evaluative adjective] thing.
#27B WILL SHOCK YOU! (because he packed a taser in his carry-on)
