Tom Wagner an average man from Louisiana was on a vacation to see his sister in California. Once he learned that his plane had a layover in Houston he decided to take a little nap. It just turned out that Wagner who is a very heavy sleeper slept through the landing of the plane and was forgotten on the plan. He said he woke up near the back of the jet and wondered "What is going on?" after trying to open the jet door that was locked he decided to call his girlfriend. He told her that she had to call the airline to get him out of the plane. About 30 minutes later the doors were opened and Wagner was free. The airliner does not know how that missed him on there post trip roundabout.
What do you think really happened here? What would you do if this happened to you?

Well done Jonathon!
The flight attendants should check the plane to see if anyone is still on asleep. If this happened to me I would sue the airline.
That's kind of weird he didn't wake up at all during that whole time, and that the flight attendants did see him or anything. But that was me i would be freaking out! I would not have stayed that calm. Good thing the plane didn't leave again with him on it.
Holy cow! That is crazy! If he was on my plane I think I would wake him up so he can get off. What rude people they are.
I don't know what could have happened, maybe the airline people didn't go check the seats and they just assumed everyone was out. If this happened to me I would probably get mad at the airline people because they should check if everyone was off the plane.
They really should have a person assigned to do it after every flight.
I am just wondering how it is possible that nobody got him up or said anything to him.
Ya like even people on the plane that were getting off didn't even care enough to wake him up.
I think this is definitely the flight attendant's fault. I'm not 100% but I think that it is the flight attendant's job to clear out the plane. I would have probably had the same reaction if I woke up and everyone was gone, I think he is lucky he wasn't on the plane longer then that though.
I wonder what the investigation is going to turn up????
