Body Of Frozen Stowaway On Airplane Falls 3,500 Feet And Almost Lands On Sunbather |
2019-07-03 |
[DAILYWIRE] John Baldock got lucky. Very lucky. Baldock, who has a master's degree in engineering from Oxford University, was just chilling in the garden of a $3 million home outside London when he heard a thud. "There was an almighty bang. At first I thought it was some scaffolding falling down and thought nothing more about it," one of Baldock's neighbors told the Daily Mail. But it wasn't. It was the sound of a frozen body hitting the ground after falling from 3,500 feet. "The corpse fell to the ground as the nine-hour flight from Nairobi approached London Heathrow Airport and opened its landing gear on Sunday afternoon," the Mail wrote. Police later said the victim was likely a stowaway who had hidden inside the landing gear of a Kenya Airways flight that landed at Heathrow, about 10 miles from the house where his body was found. Upon inspection, food and drinking water was found within the wheel well. The body created a huge crater in the lawn and smashed two concrete paving slabs. Baldock was "very shaken" by the incident, the Mail said, noting that there was "blood all over the walls of the garden." |

#5 Thank you, Lex. That's about the highest honor a stowaway from Nairobi can expect. Burial in England with prose from a fine Bard named Lex. Without us, and Baldock of course, he'd just be a blip in the news.☺ |

#4 That's the way to go - in an English garden, with English poetry: I wandered lonely through the clouds That float on high, o'er dales and hills When all at once I face planted a crowd, A host! of golden daffodils ... |

#3 I wonder if Kenya Airways owes him for the paving slabs. |

#2 That's the way I want to be buried. Let my dead frozen body dig a crater in somebody's English garden. Cover it over and plant some nice flowers on top. |
