So what happened to this air defense incident at Shanghai Pudong Airport?
16-year-old boy hiding in luggage compartment and smuggling into Dubai
Xu, a 16-year-old boy from Bazhong, Sichuan, decided to try his luck in Dubai after listening to the news that beggars in Dubai earn 470,000 yuan a month. According to the introduction of the Consulate General of China in Dubai, on the evening of May 26th, Xu climbed over the wall of Shanghai Pudong Airport and found Emirates flight EK303 from Shanghai to Dubai on the tarmac. While the staff were not looking, he sneaked into the cargo hold of the passenger plane.
At 0 o’clock on the 27th, the plane took off. After more than nine hours’ flight, Xu arrived in Dubai. However, he didn’t even get off the plane, and his dream of making a fortune was broken. When the local staff unloaded the luggage, they found Xu who was hiding in the container, and then called the police to hand over Xu to the police.
Xu was later detained by the local police on suspicion of illegal entry and endangering the safety of public aircraft. After that, the prosecution initiated judicial proceedings, and local Chinese lawyer Mian Jinlong provided translation and judicial assistance for Xu.
On the same day, the Consulate General of China in Dubai, after receiving the police notification, immediately rushed to the scene to understand the situation and started the consular protection procedure.
Ma Xuliang, Acting Consul General of the Consulate General of China in Dubai, said that according to the local laws of the United Arab Emirates, Xu may face two criminal charges of endangering aviation safety and illegal entry. However, because Xu was a minor, on June 6th, the local procuratorate in Dubai decided not to prosecute Xu and sent him back to Shanghai, China directly.
In addition, according to media reports, because Xu is a minor, at present, the Shanghai police have decided to "detain, not execute" him.
There are many checkpoints at the airport. How do teenagers find loopholes and get into the cabin?

Shanghai Pudong International Airport, one of the three major international airports in China, covers an area of 40 square kilometers, with 218 parking spaces and 149 square meters of tarmac. According to the statistics of 2014, the annual passenger throughput is more than 51.66 million passengers. In 2015, Shanghai Pudong Airport was ranked among the top 100 major airports in the world. How can such a large airport easily let a 16-year-old boy complete such a fantastic trip?
With the dream of making big money, Xu bid farewell to his parents and came to Shanghai from Jiangsu alone. On May 26th, Xu rented a house from Japan and took the subway line 2 to Shanghai Pudong Airport directly. The highest fare for the whole journey was only 11 yuan, which was all the expenses for his trip to Dubai.
How did a 16-year-old boy break through numerous barriers, enter the tarmac of the airport and get into the cargo hold of the plane without buying a plane ticket, security check and customs clearance?
According to Xu’s memory, on the night of the incident, he approached the fence of the airport by climbing a big tree for eight to ten meters, and then slipped into the airport from the fence of the airport.
After a long observation, Xu identified the plane flying to Dubai. The plane parked on the tarmac, with the hatch open and no staff guarding it, Xu easily climbed in along the ladder in the cargo hold. He knew nothing about whether there was danger in the cargo hold and whether there was enough oxygen after take-off. Xu told the lawyer that he just felt very cold at that time. He used some textile things in the luggage compartment as quilt covers and went to Dubai after a sleep.
Li Jian, deputy director of the Civil Aviation Administration: This matter is serious in nature and has a bad influence.
A brief review of this China teenager’s bizarre journey. He started on May 26th, illegally entered the cargo hold of the Emirates plane, then set off from Shanghai in the early morning of the next day, arrived in Dubai nine hours later, and returned to Shanghai on June 7th. Then if outsiders see such a process, they will think that he is really capable and full of strange things. But in fact, it is far from the case. If we look at this matter from the perspective of air defense, we will find that there are dangers inside. soIn the words of Li Jian, deputy director of the Civil Aviation Administration, it is eight words: serious in nature and bad in influence.
In the process of observing this incident, people were surprised and obviously frightened. Why do you say that? becauseThe child broke through three obstacles in a short series of processes.
First, he climbed a big tree, observed it for a while, then skipped the boundary and jumped into it. At this point, the first pass has passed. Next, he will pass through the airport control area, and he will pass through such a control area while no one is paying attention. Similarly, the second lane is closed. In Sandao Pass, when he saw this Emirates Airlines plane parked here and loading goods, he got in while people were not looking. At this time, the first Sandao Pass also passed.
Just 12 years before the 16-year-old Xu sneaked into Dubai, on November 11, 2004, two teenagers sneaked into the landing gear cabin of a passenger plane flying from Kunming to Chongqing. One unfortunately fell to death on the spot when the plane took off, and the other miraculously flew to Chongqing Jiangbei Airport.
Only half a year later, a similar incident happened in Dunhuang. In May 2005, when a passenger plane of China Eastern Airlines took off at Dunhuang Airport, a boy fell from the landing gear cabin and died.
Sneaking into the tarmac, sneaking into the landing gear cabin, and the airport were identified as having the main responsibility. This time, it happened again at Shanghai Pudong Airport.
Every time such an incident happens, there will be a big discussion about flight safety. What worries the public is that only teenagers have sneaked in these times. What if they are malicious people?
On July 26th last year, there was an arson with a knife in the air on a flight from Taizhou.
The flight attendants and passengers on the flight on the same day were surrounded. After a few minutes of confrontation between the two sides, the man not only did not put down the lighter, but took out a long knife of more than 20 centimeters. Less than five minutes after the plane made an emergency landing, the man once again rushed into the first class and lit the newspaper. After the incident, Taizhou Airport, which exposed security loopholes, was ordered to suspend business for more than a month and carry out security rectification. And a series of related personnel were dismissed.
[Expert Q&A]
What are the safety problems exposed by juvenile smuggling? How to supervise air defense safety?
Q: A 16-year-old boy has entered the cargo hold of an airplane. What is the danger it brings?
Huang Quan, Associate Professor of civil aviation university of china Law School:Fortunately, this teenager is not a terrorist.One problem discovered from this incident is that all three preventive measures against such incidents at civil aviation airports have failed.-the boundary of the airport, he turned over; The security personnel in the airport control area did not find it; The airline security personnel did not find it; The camera’s monitoring didn’t find it, and no one found this problem, so this danger is very great.
Q: What kind of responsibility should Shanghai Airport bear in this respect?
Huang Quan:The key depends on whether the enterprise security plan has been implemented in this process. If it is strictly implemented, it means that there is a problem with the security plan. If it is not strictly implemented, it will bear direct responsibility.
Q: In this incident, apart from the obvious responsibility of Shanghai Airport, what other relevant departments have failed in their duties?
Huang Quan:In addition to the responsibility of enterprises to independently implement the security plan, another issue that we can’t avoid is whether the administrative organ has assumed the regulatory responsibility. If the administrative organ once found the problem but did not ask for rectification, it is that the regulatory responsibility of the administrative organ is not in place. If the administrative organ repeatedly emphasizes in the daily security audit administrative inspection and asks the enterprise to rectify, but the enterprise neglects these problems, then the administrative organ should not be responsible at this time.
Q: In terms of air defense safety, what are the difficulties if we want to strengthen supervision now?
Huang Quan:At present, the common problem in safety supervision is the serious shortage of shipping supervision power. After the localization of the airport, the airport public security was also placed under the local government. Civil aviation has lost this team that can assist in daily supervision and crack down on illegal crimes. At present, there are more than 200 airports in China, and there are less than 200 people who supervise the safety of shipping. In addition, the cities where most airports are located have no civil aviation administrative organs, and there is also a lack of supervision in this respect.
