WTF: Jeep invades airfield at Philadelphia Int. Airport
PHILADELPHIA INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT - March 1, 2012 (WPVI) -- A man is in custody after driving his Jeep through a gate and onto restricted grounds at Philadelphia International Airport. The incident happened just after 10:00 a.m. Thursday when the black Jeep Cherokee was spotted on the airfield. Sources at the scene tell Action News that a 24-year-old male is in police custody after crashing his vehicle through Gate 25 near Hog Island Road. That particular gate is unmanned. Witnesses say the suspect was parked outside the gate apparently waiting for one of the planes to come in for a landing. As an incoming plane approached he then allegedly accelerated - blasting through the gate and onto airport property. Those who saw the incident unfold say it appears as though the suspect attempted to time it so that the Jeep would meet the plane as it landed. Police say the vehicle never made it to the runway as officers were able to stop the man. Police did an initial search of the car for explosives or other material that came back negative. According to airport officials, there are three runways currently open. They are at a ground stop, meaning planes scheduled to depart to Philadelphia are still grounded. However, the airport is listed as opened. Stay with Action News and 6abc.com as more information becomes available. Find out about Breaking News as it happens.

I guess this is more off-topic, but wow. That is ridiculous. WTF was he doing? At least they were able to stop him before he actually got to the runway.

Must have been on something, no one just wants to drive on an airport runway for no reason.
