Man Lives in Airport—Really!

By Polyhedras | September 25, 2008

Have you seen the Tom Hanks film, The Terminal? Well, apparently it’s loosely based on a true story of an Iranian refuge from the Shah’s Iran.

As is the case with many such tales, the reality is both stranger and more poignant that the fiction. Fifteen years of tentative existence in an airport, away from sun and fresh air, is no way for a human being to live.
