A 23-year-old baggage handler fell asleep on Saturday morning at Kansas City
Airport in the cargo hold of a Boeing 737. His colleagues did not realize he
was lying there, allowing the American Airlines aircraft to take off for the
flight to Chicago.
 
The sleeping man was only discovered when the plane landed at O Hare
International Airport an hour later. He was questioned by the authorities and
then put back on the plane to Kansas without criminal charges (but then in
the passenger cabin).
 
The baggage handler stated that he fell asleep because he had too much
alcohol that night and had to start early. American Airlines, the employer of
the man, started an investigation and put him on hold for the time being,
according to various American media.
