**NOTE***
First heard about this on a Discovery Channel show, later read the Snopes article, and have not re-read it
A couple of years ago, the French finally allowed him to leave the airport and seek residence, he however had become so used to the airport that he
continues to live there.
Very interesting.
As far as the Tom Hanks film, found it too drawn out, only thing that kept me interested was the aircraft! And by the way, how on earth did that man
stop a loaded 747 with a MOP!?
