Re: Acrobatics Fail
March, 2018. A man who launched himself off a second-floor walkway at Atlanta’s Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport is said to have sustained serious injuries during the harrowing fall. The man, who was filmed falling by travelers in the concourse below, was said to be arguing with a fellow passenger near the Terrapin Tap Room on the second level of concourse D. He was also becoming “visibly irate and belligerent,” according to Reese McCranie, the communications director for the airport. A spokesman for the Atlanta police added that the man appeared to be intoxicated as he berated other passengers in front of the bar. Airport officials arrived shortly before he jumped. A police spokesman said the man was alert and breathing when emergency personnel responded. He was taken to a hospital for what authorities describe as serious injuries. Turned out to be 32-year-old Kyle Phillips. He was formally charged with public intoxication and disorderly conduct. He sustained severe bone fractures and internal injuries. |
