Ex-pilot camps out in airport for 13 days

A former pilot has been living in an airport for 13 days after allegedly being dumped by a Brazilian woman he met on the internet. Wandering the Sao Paulo airport, German Heinz Muller, 46, is surviving on food given to him by airport workers.

Mr Muller washes himself in the airport bathrooms and sleeps on chairs in the airport's only terminal.



A spokesman for Brazil's civil aviation authority said Mr Muller arrived in Rio de Janeiro on October 2 and can stay for three months as long as he breaks no laws.

"Mr Muller said he wound up at the airport after being dumped by a woman living nearby. He visited after meeting her on the internet," said the spokesman.
