Police are investigating at Heathrow — the largest airport of London after 12-year-old without a ticket managed to slip past security and get on a plane bound for Los Angeles.
July 14 flight attendants, British Airways found the boy aboard and asked to show a boarding pass.
As it turned out, the child had no travel documents, was able to mingle with the crowd of passengers and to pass unnoticed through the gate.
A mysterious young man who is probably a Dutchman, was not traveling with my parents and did not want to listen to the flight attendants. According to witnesses, he refused to leave the aircraft, so the crew had to call the police.
According to the passenger, Rachel Richardson, the incident caused several hours of delays. She wrote on Twitter that he saw the police dogs arriving on the scene shortly after all the passengers brought from the plane.

According to the preliminary version of the British Airways, the boy had a layover in Heathrow, but he decided to test his luck.
A perfectly healthy 9-year-old child got sick with «colds». It is not stalactical 9-year-old boy who, according to doctors, died of a common virus with symptoms that resemble a cold, warn other parents about the fact that even the most minor illness can be much more serious.

This error also causes concern about the efficiency of security checks at the busiest airport in the UK, although British Airways insisted that the boy was the same controls as all other passengers.
«We apologized to our customers for the delay of their flight after problems during the landing, said the airline. — The safety of our customers and crew is always our top priority, and everyone who boarded the plane, went through the security check».
