People are running around screaming at the terrorist Jeep! OMG, the horror! It could have hit a plane! Think of the children!
Bonehead move by a drunk, stoned guy. Terror threat? No, but wait until you see the security theater measures they put in place to stop the threat!

'Course! This was a drunk civilian at an airliner airport but PROVES THAT WE MUST NEVER ALLOW PILOTS TO HAVE UNFETTERED ACCESS TO THEIR PLANES AT GA AIRPORTS!

He ran through a construction fence. These are of temporary nature. Next we'll see they will have to be jersey barrier type rather than free standing wire mesh.
Like someone expected a person to drive through something like that? I would not expect a wire mesh fence to stop a determined person but in this case, the guy probably was late to captain his next Northwest flight.

Didn't see this in the original article, but there's a video of the incident synced to the ATC chatter at the time: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jc03TCWeWUY

Even otherwise. I saw places at O'Hare where the only thing between the road and the runway is an unattended guard shack with a flimsy drawgate.

Some enterprising reporter is sure to report that the jeep failed to file a flight plan.

You guys just don't understand. It's a Jeep thing!

Oh no I hope this doesn't mean all the little towered airports will be forced to put up giant car proof fences.
You are learning, grasshopper.

I would say "thanks," but I don't like this kind of learning.

Funny - the OP YouTube link shows on my iPhone but my post just shows the tags and data. On closer examination, OP used a full YouTube URL while I used yt tags. And iPhone has YouTube app installed. Odd

Love it Greg! One of my favorite shows from the 60's and one reason I still drive a "real" Jeep. :wink2:
If it really were these guys, I doubt there would have been much left of KPHL. True experts in hit and run demolition which is well documented, "In Color!".

Here we go. From ABC World News, a better copy of the video that was shot by a Captain in jet waiting for takeoff:
Then:
"It COULD HAVE BEEN CARRYING A BOMB!" "
The airport says the barrier was FAA-approved."
"I wonder if there wil be more pressure to change..."
