Like the article said this guy was a real moron. Even if he survived takeoff and not gotten crushed when the landing gear came up he would have frozen to death or died from lack of oxygen at 30k.

why did he strip naked? I don't get that part...maybe he was trying show that he had no "weapon"

I'd call him a conscientious passenger working with the authorities! Or maybe the airport security stripped him, and then he made his escape! Either way, he would have died from oxygen depravation and hypothermia, long before crossing the equator. Don't people read about this stuff? Jeesh!
