The Man Who Lived in an Airport for 18 Years 

Defo happy you backbya vids are amazing:)

Oh I'm such a fan of your channel. I've been watching since you released the video about the eggplant japanese guy. You have such a calming and soothing voice, I look forward to more uploads!

Big fan here. Good to see (hear?) you're doing fine in this times of general distress.

@Atrocity Guide Thanks cutie

Couldn't they just do a DNA test with the mother in Scotland ? having a Scottish mother would have made him eligible for entry into the UK. He was no spring chicken and I wonder if his mother died during his long stay at the airport though. What an absolute mess. I hope he's ok right now.

He'd been through something for sure.

Possible, if the rumours of buying his story were true, he had a lot of money to leave the airport, even buy the visa/citizenship of the country he wanted to go to.

That’s literally what they said in the video good job

Morgan Freeman: He had become... institutionalised.

@@AdnanKauser 😂😂

I read this in Nick Crowley's voice.

@@PaulRudd1941 Who cares?

@@atlantic_love account sharing goof.

@@PaulRudd1941 You can tell Kristy got this man by the balls when he don’t even make his own account 😂

It reminds me of a long stay in hospital when my daughter was born. I stayed in a unit next to the neonatal ward, her father did too though he would leave for work. It was like living in a bubble, everything I needed was there, cashpoint, post box, shops, hairdresser, cafes and restaurants. I lost track of the outside world, made freinds with staff, patients would come and then go. I remember a feeling of intense anxiety when it came to leaving. I can see how someone could become mentally stuck.

😔

bd

I'm betting he was mentally ill to begin with, but this didn't help.

All the loneliness..can't imagine how he live his life without a family, home or a country. No wonder he is inventing a new character of himself..

18

HIS NAME WAS "Sir Alfred Mehran" if you really want him to rest in peace then at least get his name CORRECTLY

He will always be in terminal 2F❤️

I pray his soul got to finally leave, that would be worse than Hell stuck in CDG for eternity.

THE FUCK WITH HIM

Also I'm thinking how he entered and fled to Spain without a passport It's a strange thing he had no documents even from iran?? and its also very sad that people alienated him and pushed him to depression and loneliness 🥹

Yeah the TV set it sounds true I should go check it out

I’d take my chances outside tbh. People irritate me.

@@Pleasestoptalkingthanks Try being homeless first

The only thing is that you can't get some quality sleep.

I slep at the airport in Bangkok for three nights when I was running low on funds. COMFORTABLE !!@@!@

If I was held captive and tortured for a decent while because someone who rules the country didnt like what I might have said, I'd probably do the same.

@@anaphylacticpete5788 well, the thing is nothing of that happened to him

Yes, this was mentioned in the video.

He had a safe space...free room...free water...no bills...he loved it there and he wasnt leaving. Like he said..."I am home". He knew what he was doing. He was happy there and he wasnt leaving. He had his safe space living in an airport. Why go out in the real world to pay bills and loose all his money. Why get a job when he could live there and do anything he wanted...yup...he loved it there. He was happy there.

@@anaphylacticpete5788 It's been confirmed that he made the stuff about the torture and his parentage up.

I wouldn't call that survival

Nice 👌

Exactly what I was thinking

😅😅😅😅😅😅😄😄😄😄

Hahahaha

Nah, just another freeloader who wanted to move to the US, Sweden or the U.K., where there is plentiful welfare and he could live without working just like he did in the airport. No empathy.

Incredible how without my glasses your profile picture looked like Johnny Bravo to me.

@@jasonblahafitness6349 you forget the part that he have plenty of money to live good were he wanted but he choose to live in airport that isn't a decision of someone who is ok mentally.

Daniel Rocha Wait? Seriously? Is there anybody else with publicity right now that’s still stuck in an airport? Even if theirs only a handful of people stuck that’s way too many, somebody needs to be assigned to this sort of stuff

Daniel Rocha I've luckily never been in a situation like this but it seems like a big airport would offer the best quality of life over so many other choices.

@@limeadel303 it's not the exact same situation, but wei jianguo has been living in the beijing capital airport for like 12 years now because he had a fight with his wife and decided he just wouldn't go back. denis luiz de souza has been in sao paulo guarulhos airport for 20 years(?) because he had a poor home life and found the airport to be a safe place. these sorts of situations happen often, but not to THIS extent. people take refuge in airports quite a lot

Well said. I remember I was in prison for a while and my first day out was say 16 months in.... I didn't know what to get in the shop... I got anxious in them. I didn't know what to choose for a takeaway. And I vomited my pizza up after. I felt tired at the same time. I woke up at the same time. I felt too exposed. I had from 8am Friday until 8pm Saturday out and I went back at 5pm Saturday and just rushed inside. It was so unsettling. I got a few more days and weekends out and only did 2 years out of 4 but it took me a long time to re adjust. And I am a fairly hardy person. I absolutely agree with you and without a doubt he got 'institutionalised'. I knew some people there getting out after 10-15+ years and they are sweating, anxious wrecks coming back after their first few days out. I feel sorry for him of course but there are many, many things at play here and he didn't help himself whatsoever... But sure we can only speculate. I feel bad for his mother. Especially him saying what he said. We all only have one mam. Anyway great comment and all best from 🇮🇪

@@mccarthy5825 sorry you were in prison. It isn’t for me to judge what you did or didn’t do to end up 🆙 in there but I’m sorry about your experience in there even if some of it might’ve been your own fault.

@@PraveenSrJ01 thank you for your lovely comment. I am glad I went to prison because I got off heroin and it saved my life. I fully rake all responsibility for my actions and I cannot tell you how. Much it means to not be judged. Wishing you well from 🇮🇪 my friend

​@@mccarthy5825 i'm glad you're here today. readjusting to regular life after getting out of prison is something i feel like nobody talks about enough, & being in that situation sounds terrifying. the first thing i thought of when i read the original comment is how it sounded like somebody getting out of prison. anyways, i hope you're doing good now

Fat back account of his would certainly help

🤣

It was stolen tho

@@ivanlozano2019 No, it wasn't. He mailed them to Belgium officials. His entire life is a fraud.

@@chrimony forgot quotes, he wouldn't of said hold my passport because he said it was stolen

This wins the comment section.

And he became wealthy.

@@ianmiles2505 what a scam

He's genius. He figured out how to become somewhat of a celebrity and make a bunch of money by doing nothing. Genius....

Deep

@@The_Absurdistt Very True, he would have suffered in some form or another in pursuit of 200k like we all do. This man managed to raise enough money to afford a Home not a Mortgage but a home by doing absolutely nothing and not even having work papers. Maybe he isn't the crazy one.

Your description matches with some of the symptoms of schizophrenia

@@ThePhallusAnnihilators Now that I think of it kinda. My mom has schizophrenia and often has delusions of grandeur. Same with my older brother.

It was of his own doing. His mother WAS his REAL mom. He was never arrested or tortured in Iran and his papers were NOT stolen...he mailed them to Brussels HIMSELF. (on a folly, he said). So the things he said for sympathy were NOT true. He made it up from the beginning. No one knows why.

@@edwardseverinsen5598 That's called "Narcissistic Personality Disorder"

@@Susan2361 wait how

Exactly.

@@Lolerstomp What I'm saying is he clearly had mental health issues to begin with and the airport made them worse, honestly its common sense.

he not long had a choice or a will.. he is just waiting to die...

I think you might've missed that he sabotaged himself by mailing his own documents to a belgian post office?

Makes you think doesn’t it how who really helps feed and help the world

And shout-out to those employees who I am sure were hooking him up with food before he got money

Para papa Papa.. I am loving it!!!

thewildcard person are you implying that McDonald’s is helping the world?... lmao

@@thewildcardperson yeah, it's the people working there putting extra patties in his burgers that are feeding and helping the world, not the objectively horrible corporate monster they work for. mcdonalds exists to make money, and has really done nothing to benefit society (yes, I know they run charities, it's the least they could do after getting the public addicted to their drugfood)

Was it really? That's surprising, I would think in a Parisian airport the ban would've come later. (Smoking has always been very popular in France, even today moreso than in other developed Western countries.) But it sounds from this video like it's undisputed that he had a health emergency--after all, that info didn't come from him as the media apparently lost track of him after that. Edit: One thing I wonder is, where was he getting his tobacco? Even pre-ban, it's odd to imagine pipe tobacco being sold in an airport. Cigarettes sure--even today, there's duty-free shops--but pipe tobacco? And before the movie deal, he was penniless, right? So somebody was giving him free pipe tobacco each day?

LOL!!! 😂😅😆 PROBABLY!!!

@@aspiringmultiplicity I'm sure airport employees probably made sure he was comfortable I bet it was quite an amusement.

Probably just didn't replace that specific bench because there was a crazy guy sitting on it 24/7 for the better part of 20 years.

I wonder what that Bench smelled like.

Garry Sekelli old man balls. Come on we all know.

ocelot. The video said it was dismantled

Adam Kostura these people didn’t watch the video

Agreed. I have serious mental health issues and have been deep in alcoholism and addiction and been homeless, and the lifestyle was actually fairly agreeable. Dropping out of society can be adapted to quickly for certain personality types. 😨

He made 100s of thousands from this I'm sure he could afford a place, job, and he was offered to stay in france or belgium several times. The man was a lunatic.

He had a safe space and no bills...he wasnt going to leave somewhere where he was happy. He loved it there and he wasnt leaving it. Dude knew what he was doing and he liked the attention. It was his safe space and home. Why move out and have to get a job and pay bills. He was happy living in a airport. Good for him. He was a bum with all his needs met. That simple.

@@alexsm3882 Nobody wants to hire a "madman" or a "bum" with a huge gap in his CV, who was likely to have major issues reintegrating into society.

He'd be on the welfare cushion like the rest are once he left that place but he was too crazy to know or want it?

boo

🤣😀🤣😝👍

Good ones haha

😂

Ha

Yeah but the lump growth on his head lead's to questions over his is Diet. 🤨

bopp9 There’s this thing going around with the supposed claim of human meat in American McDonalds as well as horse meat. Man you europeans are lucky.

Steven Diaz American food regulations are honestly scary.

@bopp9 yeah same here in aus, I'm curious about in n out and so on but.. I don't trust their foods

@bopp9 But it doesn't mean and a balanced diet.

Maybe it's just a prison syndrome, the uncertainty of the unknown, what was waiting for him outside... no home in Iran nor in England and 10 years of solitude can make u go nuts. No wonder his mind saw an opportunity to live another life. We will never be sure.

I think he was probably pitied more than accepted.

The thing I just watched concluded his "trauma" was all made up. His mom was heartbroken when she heard the lies he spewed about her.

@@edwardschmitt5710 Abusers often resort to gaslighting and deny any of their wrongdoing, her words aren't definitive proof. Not saying she is one but a person's testimony alone doesn't prove anything

@@kaylaisnothere4397 then go with your argument, his one single accusation also does not do anything

Well put.

@@kaylaisnothere4397 Neither Mehran nor his siblings have ever made any accusations of abuse. The Paul Berczeller article notes that his siblings have successful middle class lives. Mehran on the other hand failed his university course (once again he lied that he ran out of money) and then spent the rest of his life acting out a delusion.

LOL

LOL HAHAHAHA

Lmao

That was actually pretty good

😂😭👏👏👏

Those are some really good points you make. In the end probably due to his emotion he had to adopt.

How was it taken away from him though? The story about his biological mother is a lie. He knew who his real family was the whole time. He never had an identity taken away.

Read wiki about him. He was given citizenship by France and England both but he refused them as he wanted to become british. The stupidity of him is beyond comprehension. Would rather live in airport or in place where you wanna go under supervision.

@@crystalnero1877 if he accepted England's citizenship, doesn't that make him British?

@@crystalnero1877 he’s clearly not mentally stable.

👏🏻👏🏻🤣🤣

It says in the beginning that his residence in the airport doesn’t violate any laws.

May be it was social experiment and he was paid along the way lol One thing for certain he was not mental or stupid.

@@kittycake1294 I was thinking that what if a bunch of homeless people started to do the same, I bet they would change the law!

@@jordanabeaulieu2530 I didn't watch the whole thing. Does he have family, where does his money come from? It seems like the poor old man has mental problem. But I'm not sure if this is a more morale solution than getting him to a psychic ward.

😱

Just a short trip.

Well said

best comment

You might be onto something here... The timespan of the narrative, the matter of forged identity, the escape from a war zone. It all kinda matches

Bwahahaha this is brutal

lmao :D

rofl

🤣🤣🤣

Good one lol

Was it a real fish though?? 😂😂😂

I think he might have had some decent meals here and there. Its not like he didn't have money.

But how could he afford that , if its in the video i have not watched it full yet .

@@aijazali455 this guy was satisfied with the attention he got from being stranded in an airport so it wouldn't suprise me if he hide from the public and enjoy a dencent meal, just so he could keep his image intact.

ARISTON RUSAL kind of make sense but was he getting free meals ?

In other words madness can be created to escape reality.

@@ToThoseWhoVanished Madness IS a escape from reality, but, in his case, it became reality. It was not just madness but sheer will that kept him in the airport. My point is: Sir Alfred was the better version of himself.

@@HittokiriBattousai17 a false version tho. We can live our fantasy and still not be a part of it. That's what this is about.

All they had to do was to move him else where.

And then he died November 12 2022

They didn't help him all that much, since he returned to the airport, where he then died of a heart attack.

Same great movie

i didn't know it was a true story lol That is where they got the idea i believe

@@seyedolshohadaBy 1979 he was so far gone he couldn't recognize his own mother. Near the end of his stay at the airport, you could actually see the bone tumor bulging on the top of his head. This looks like a genuine case of amnesia , where a person loses their memory to brain injury and he was left with only recent memories of the Airport and the stories he had told to customs officials.

@@seyedolshohada What I said was he fabricated the story to avoid conscription. Then the bone tumor began growing and he started believing it.

Well said. Good summary.

I was thinking the same.

Glenn very well done I would say after all I have seen and read you are right on!!! His brain was the issue!!! Too bad the airport Dr. didn't have a brain scan done. They could have determined the situation long ago and maybe had the tumor removed and the man could have returned to himself. If not at least they would know why and have him placed in a place he could retire rather than living on a bench.

yea but at the end of the day it’s calories in calories out so he was most likely in a caloric deficit

Not to forget the tumor that grew on his head. And aprt from that psychological disorders

@@antenedilbert7191 Well you can't have it all

@@Aguijon1982 lol

I was surprised at that. Most people would in that situation. Especially since he had little to do other than eat. He is a unique case. Part of the reason might be that his smoking suppressed his appetite.

He was obviously unwell even before he arrived at the airport.

Do you pay for your travel expecting to miss it? Everyone in airports need to look out for themselves too.

And you know someone there just went "Lol well it's not OUR fault. The country doesn't exist to go back to and he can't go forward." My question is where did he get money to pay for his food? Change like beggars get?

@UCcY4vgAbG1ozUm37JpysMkQ Watch the video dumbass

@@adc2327 it doesnt matter. someone would have still made the gofund me

When your whole identity has been taken and you to find out your family is not your family I can only imagine how withdrawn you would become

@@iizben ...except that it was always his family?

Its just reality that any years for people who live too long in certain strange places, once they get used to it, they called it home, but unlike prison, this man still has freedom, and certainly that freedom create a chaos towards identity

He can't leave. If he left he wouldn't be him anymore. Ego death. It's tantamount to death.

D brain cud have something to do it

He reportedly went back to the airport, by itself I guess, a few weeks / months ago, and he died recently, at the airport... The same airport... I heard about it in the news today, never heard of his story before... sad 😕

The Terminal 1 (where he was?) has been closed for years, due to the pandemic I think (less traffic...), and for works. I think he couldn't go back to the terminal 1, I'm not sure if it has reopened or not... Only the newer terminals 2 and 3 were still open

This makes perfect sense. I hope you are doing better now. God Bless.

In a sense we all are afraid of change and moving on.

Well as the cities and states in America go broke funding unnecessary things they’ve closed many of the mental institutions and just let the people go to live on the streets. Some go to outpatient facilities to get meds but most don’t. Our government has failed its people horribly

They need to bring back insane asylums

@@danirezaeva3934 I actually liked the Janitor from India most of all. That was a character I really connected with because he was a working class, law abiding citizen caring for his family.

I been working in retail close to 20 years now and get tired of us getting the blame put on us when the customer isn't paying attention. One even tried suing us because she tripped *over* the wet floor sign. 🤦

I could never even entertain such a nasty thought, personally. That seems far too shallow and jaded.

I mean he did have a brain tumor. They've been known to completely change the way a person thinks.

@@Manticorn it sounds shallow, but the man was the one who sent his documents to a different country. He didn't have them stolen as he had claimed. And considering that his family had attempted to help him but he pretended that he had no one to turn to makes me question how legitimate he is. I truly believe he did it for fame from the beginning. Even before he adopted the name Sir Alfred, he exaggerated events in his life drastically, like the whole being beaten up by religious cops thing.

​@@xxcreoxx4599if he wanted to become famous, why did he choose to spend 2 decades in an airport, of all things? i can think of a million safer, more noble ways of becoming famous than that. i cant believe that anyone would actively seek out that lifestyle, being trapped in one building, constantly being on display, with no means of income and your only source of food being fast food chains. i think maybe he did go mad or did come to revel in it, sure, but i dont think he initially wanted it. nobody would.

@@thedumbdog1964 I don't think he cares about that stuff, he's possibly an asexual/aromantic.

And he very much went crazy it seems.

@@MrFutago87 Guess I was inferring that I'd go crazier.

He did it beacause Hes mind does not function well enough

He was already crazy

@@Triumph2024. you are lucky, your name is Dan. Try being me in an Airport lol! Stuff of nightmares. 😭😅

I hate to be really British but none of us have said that since 1935

@@intuitiveeevee True

@@sadiejackson5320 this vid may be very old too

I heard that in the movie National Velvet. Haha.

Just like if you say “y’all” you must be black hmm

Absolutely heartbreaking but I’m sure Just one of millions such a tragic story

Amen 🙏🏼

@@og-greenmachine8623 its not heartbreaking he is mentally ill he belong in Psychiatric hospital

@@ramy9556 it IS heartbreaking. His life is just tragic. Before these events, he was NOT mentally ill. Now, he probably is mentally not normal anymore.

@A E Iran is still very difficult to live in especially if his story of being expelled is true.

Or a job Or a life

BeyondChange rent? Ferrari is a social housing project? guess his family owns properties in Iran, why should he rent? in Paris, nobody can pay that rent!

imagine people now days that pay $1500 a month in rent for a ghetto apartment. $324,000 over 18 years of rent is what that would be lol.

Film co does not gives him money for making money off his story.

Being too long staying in the airport have made him use to it as home.

Since when has whang been a 'dark youtuber'? The guy covers stuff like the mlp cum jar ffs 😂

I think the calm voice and sympathy to tragedy helps a lot with atrocity guide.

@@missvoorhees7964 I'd say that's awful dark.

@@missvoorhees7964 i'd say more of the "rabbit hole" side of youtube and include guys like Fred Knudsen and Oki as well. They cover strange occurrences especially on the internet.

@@missvoorhees7964 Fine, I guess "fringe" would be a better term than dark because I was also including Fredrick Knudsen who isn't necessarily "dark" content

😔

I resonate with this comment a lot.

@@AndreaVidaManda .

what?? viral has been a hing for a long time, probably since newspapers came out

@@gregorkorosec6131 exactly.. His mother had a sexual disease that went viral

…and would have been kicked out because of coronavirus, potentially from Covid-88 to Covid-06.

Wtf 🤣

Jesus went viral in ancient Rome

hahaha:))

Oh those are good.

Chess not Checkers

@D it’s called a joke.

Hahaha good one

I mean, France isn't necessarily the go-to place for governments that care about "outsiders." But yeah, it's very cruel; it's not like nobody knew he was there.

Every government of every country fails it's people regularly...

@@blacktidelures7067 I suppose you are right, but this was a particularly glaring example. I will note the French government offered Sir Alfred French citizenship, which I consider a very high honor.

And what about the UK government ? It's both. At least french lawyers and such made everything they could to find a situation and find his papers. And you all talk as if the government from before 2000 with an other president and people in head represent the actual government and it's people. His situation with the current things we have would have been easy to resolve (internet, better laws, better ways to resolve this, the digitalization of many things via face picture, adn and such), those were not a big thing between the 80' to 2000'.

He had a bone tumor growing on his skull. Those can take decades to grow. Slowly placing pressure on the brain , destroying memories. I think he created the story about being tortured and expelled for no other reason than to get refugee status so Iran couldnt force him to return and be conscripted. Then the bone tumor started growing and he started making mistakes, one of those mistakes was mailing his papers to the wrong embassy. When he became trapped in De Gaulle and couldnt remember where he mailed his papers, he tried to scam his way into the UK by claiming he was the illegitimate son of a Scottish nurse...and when that didnt work then he was genuinely stuck. By the time his family found him his mental state had declined to the point that he couldnt recognize them and was terrified of leaving the only place he had a clear memory of. The next 12 years was him sitting on that red bench , trapped by his own mind.

rough world man , stay well

Why do you find that phrase weird? I ask because I am totally unable to see the weirdness.

El' Pablo Santano That’s sad

@@blackswan4486 It's not sad to be unable to relate to someones point of view unless your unwilling to. The fact that I asked shows a willingness to understand which is necessary in order to relate.

@@elprimo1 probably because literature, even the non-fictional body of work, has become sort of industrialized, and anyone who's got a right to your story can turn it into a product for consumers. Your personal history becoming something to be consumed is... Well, just heartbreaking. Then again, what do I know about how others would define 'heartbreaking' or 'sad'

@@serotonin.scavenger Thanks for giving it a go! However I can't agree with your reason for calling it heartbreaking. It's just business. No one has been victimized. I can't be heartbroken without a victim to empathize with. What I find disturbing is the zombie like behavior associated with turning a dollar. This so called opportunistic culture of the world is troubling because any expressed care and concern is always associated with turning a profit. The only thing loved is money for it's purchasing power. A proposition to acquire the rights to someones life story is just business. Seizing on an opportunity to make a profit is the nature thereof but the disingenuous promoting of care and concern while what your really seeking is to make a profit that's a Trojan Horse. When you really care you stay the course ie. your care and concern is the only thing that drives you being the central point of focus. When you add in calculating how to turn a profit focus is lost and one veers off course. For example I take in a homeless person because I care. In caring for that person I suffer lose of space in my home, food, money, time (just to name a few). Turning that situation into a win win monetarily creates a contradiction. When your in the position to help another at a lose to yourself and you do that's genuine care and concern for what money can't buy ie. life. If your not concerned with life by default you love death. Which is why I hate the culture of this world because it screams we can't live.
