Man with Russian name on international flight enters the United States with no passport and says he doesn't remember how he got on the flight. Sergey Ochigava said he had not slept in 3 days.... He had no plane ticket and the US government cannot explain how he got here.

He might have been sleep walking or in a fugue state from sleep deprivation. As for no ticket, he might have been mistaken for flight crew depending on how he was dressed. When I fly I see people walking in and out of the jetway waiting for flights, I can see it happening with someone moving confidently with purpose. Might explain how he got past security too.

Yeah, sleep deprivation from a three week cocaine binge 😁

That would explain him moving from seat to seat and trying to eat the air crew's chocolates.

Worldwide, there are approximately 4.5 billion with a B airline passengers each year, or roughly 12 million airline passengers per day. No security system is perfect. If there is a one in a million chance of somebody getting through security without a ticket or passport, we might expect about 12 of these incidents per day, somewhere around the world. If its one in a billion, then there might be four or five per year, say, about one every three months or so. If it's one in ten billion, then maybe one case every two or three years.

By the way, did you note that he has dual Israeli/Russian citizenship? So he probably accused the flight crew of being antisemitic when they asked to see his ticket, and they freaked out and let him on 😂
