> Wanted to smoke and drink without his family bothering him. Also had difficulty finding work. Still lives in the airport, but comes out occasionally.
So he's third, and the rest of the top four are entirely by choice. He's the only one to break the two-year mark in airport confinement due to documentation issues.
He speaks well in english, smokes an exquisite tobacco pipe indoors and you can hear the airport flip boards in the background during interviews with him. Also pretty interesting to pause and see what's on the newspapers.
He eventually came to see the airport as his home, and remained even after he was no longer bound there. Atrocity Guide has the story https://youtu.be/JQfXd1YlkS4
Lots of movie does not make money. And ask all those actors and actress not making it. It is not that millionaire you should shoot at as arts need to be paid. It could be the 1% or 0.1% should pay back to the society. Not the 10%. The society need innovation and competition and money to drive this.
It is pretty bad. CDG and Orly, the two Paris airports are atrocious in pretty much all aspects besides maybe transit options -CDG has regular commuter trains and high speed rail linking it to Paris and other cities.
That's why I was shocked that last time I was there, struggling to understand where i could find food at the late hour of 21h, a bathroom or an electrical socket that worked, that it has apparently been voted as best European airport by Skytrax for 2022.

Great way to tell how unfair this world is.
May he rest in peace.

Was it to much to give, lets say, even 1 million to this guy? It would've been less unfair at the very least.
With 250k you can't even buy a decent apartment in a decent area in Paris
