FreeThinker Posted July 26, 2012 Report Share Posted July 26, 2012 Perhaps we shouldn't encourage eleven year-old boys to stowaway on international flights, but I have to admit that I am rather impressed with Liam Corcoran-Fort, the boy who flew from Manchester to Rome ostensibly because he needed to pee and wasn't noticed by crew until they were in the air. I'm almost motivated to write a story about the little guy. Good on ya, Liam! http://overheadbin.nbcnews.com/_news/2012/07/26/12969132-uk-stowaway-schoolboy-it-was-easier-than-my-homework?lite Link to comment
Cole Parker Posted July 26, 2012 Report Share Posted July 26, 2012 The article makes it seem he might be a little simple. But perhaps not as simple as the people paid to keep things secure. C Link to comment
FreeThinker Posted July 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2012 Yeah, I don't think Liam was nearly as innocent as he makes himself out to be. The associated link to the Channel 4 news report I think is a bit more accurate about the boy's intentions. I still think he's clever. Link to comment
Merkin Posted July 26, 2012 Report Share Posted July 26, 2012 I'm sure I speak for others when I say I'll await your story with barely supressed anticipation, FreeThinker. Link to comment
The Pecman Posted July 29, 2012 Report Share Posted July 29, 2012 Despite learning a few Italian words, Liam said he did not enjoy his two hours in Rome: “It was too big and scary on my own. I just wanted to go home and see my mum.” I spent three frustrating months in Rome some years ago on a project, and I feel the same way as the kid! Weird country. It's like they have a different word for everything! Link to comment
