The Twilight Zone
Nightmare at 20,000 Feet
Original air date: October 11, 1963Would you believe me if I told you that there are reports out of Russia that someone held onto the wing of a 737 for two hours? while it was flying? Alright since this story seems so incredibly unbelievable, I’m just going to start off by providing the link to the source. So here it is.

Now that I’ve got a little more of your respect back I’ll tell you a little about what it says. It says that a 15 year old boy clung to the wing of a 737 for a two hour, 800+ mile, 560 MPH flight. Yeah right. Okay well anyway I would have completely dismissed this story and not even posted about it…. but, there is one interesting detail. Moscow’s air and water transport control department confirmed it was true, at least according to the source above.

This reminds me of a story I’ve read on the cover of a grocery store gossip rag, or at least a famous episode of the Twilight Zone.
