Around 100 airline employees are living in mobile homes parked just yards from Los Angeles International Airport.

Staff ranging from mechanics to pilots have chosen to live in the makeshift trailer park which is a close distance from one of the busiest runways in the world.

One resident, airline captain Bob Poster, told the BBC's Rajesh Mirchandani that the decline in status and pay has forced them to chose cheaper accommodation.
