Man A
Man A is a placeholder name given to an unidentified man believed to be from eastern Europe[1] who attempted to jump onto the landing gear of a plane that was about to take off from Taoyuan International Airport[2] on November 2, 2019.[3]
Incident[edit]
On November 2, 2019, an unidentified man reportedly of Russian descent[4] jumped onto the landing gear of a China Airlines plane heading from Taoyuan International Airport to Palau.[5] An Asiana Airlines pilot who spotted the man informed air traffic control, which caused the China Airlines flight to be aborted,[6] and the man to be arrested.[7]
Aftermath[edit]
Officers of the National Police Agency found a notebook and a Bible both in the Russian language in two backpacks that the man had carried with him.[8] In February 2020, the man was charged with violating the Immigration Act of Taiwan after refusing to cooperate with authorities and a Russian interpreter, who was a priest from an Russian Orthodox Church.[9]
