Body found in wheel well of plane
An investigation has started after a body was found in a plane from London to New York. The man, thought to be in his 30s, was found after the British Airways flight landed at JFK airport. BA said it was examining how the stowaway got on board the flight from Heathrow Airport. Why donât you do that. Until then, quit bitching about us wanting security on the damm planes! There have been a number of incidents in recent years where immigrants have been found dead after attempting to hide in plane wheel wells. Wheel wells being unpressurized and unheated are a great place to hitch a ride. The BA flight - BA 177 - left Heathrow at around 1330 GMT on Tuesday and landed in New York at about 1615 local time. A BA spokesman said: "The body was discovered during refuelling and this led to the return flight - BA 174 - being delayed for a couple of hours. Would have been a much longer delay if he had been wearing a bomb belt with a timer. "We are investigating just how the person got on board." How about your ground security sucks? Was that too hard? Last week, a man in his 20s was found dead in the wheel well of a plane to JFK from Montego Bay, Jamaica. I think Iâll go lay down. Posted by: Steve 2003-12-31 |
