This stowaway wanted to fly on a wing and a prayer.

The man ran on Friday onto a taxiway at the international airport in Lagos, Nigeria, where he threw his carry-on luggage into one of the engines of a domestic Azman Air flight bound for Port Harcourt, according to the blog One Mile at a Time.

“I have so many questions to ask but right now I can’t even breathe,” Instagram user otto_orondaam posted along with shocking video of the wing-walker clambering onto the engine.

He said the Boeing 737 was taxiing and about to take off when the wacko popped out of a bush and ran toward the aircraft in full view of the shocked passengers.

“The guy approaches the plane with gloves and starts walking around and under the aircraft holding a bag which he dropped inside the engine,” he wrote.

The pilots shut down the engines to prevent the man from being sucked in, according to the blog, which said he wanted to travel to Ghana.

The airline said the unidentified man also tried to access the cabin, according to CNN. It was unclear if he had intended to hijack the plane before being arrested.

The passengers were asked to disembark for another round of security checks before the flight resumed, the airline said.
