Man Sleeps On UA Flight To Houston, Wakes Up Alone In Locked Plane

[Initech]

HOUSTON (KTRK) -- A man was flying from Louisiana and had a layover in Houston when he says he fell asleep on the plane and was locked inside.

In an exclusive interview with the passenger, Tom Wagner tells ABC13 Eyewitness News what he did the moments after he woke up to a dark cabin.

It's the fifth largest airport in the nation. More than 40 million passengers flew out of Houston's Bush Intercontinental Airport just last year.

"I was coming from Louisiana to see my sister in California. We had a layover in Texas," Wagner said. "I just took my hat off and I took a nap."

And never have we heard of a story like Wagner's.

1. What if he had no cell phone? Pilots, what should one do?

Can you open the door from the inside? Can you get on the radio of a parked plane? What if the plane was parked for days?

Well, at least there'd be liquor and peanuts.
