ISTANBUL – A father and two of his sons were seen performing what appeared as an adventure performance as they attempted to catch their plane at an airport.
The trio was filmed as they broke all barricades to catch their plane following a missed flight. The incident occurred at Istanbul’s Sabiha Gökçen International Airport, where they missed their AnadoluJet flight to Tel Aviv’s Ben Gurion Airport.
The ‘daredevils’ arrived at the gate after the boarding process had already concluded but they made their last-ditch effort to get on the flight and resorted to extreme measures in their pursuit to board the plane.
The trio forcibly entered the boarding bridge even though the aircraft had already departed from the gate. The video shows one of the family members actually jumping onto the runway and approaching the plane.
A video depicts one man dangling from the boarding platform before dropping onto the runway; he was then surrounded by security staff, and later, all three were taken to a police station.
Israel’s Foreign Ministry said it was aware of the incident and that the consulate in Istanbul was handling it.
