Commando with Arnold Schwarzenegger. It’s full of over the top stunts and silly scenes.

I wish this guy had not given the airlines ideas for a new sub-economy class ticket.

I’ll bet they don’t even have an in-flight meal.

If he can handle those conditions, then maybe we need his DNA here!

He probably was seen descending from the wheel well. He would likely not jump out as the plane taxies to the terminal and at the terminal here would be attendants arriving immediately to service the plane and unload the hold. he would have an audience.

There is a link in #7 to an explanation of how it has been done. Apparntly almost a quarter of those that try make it.

There is no proper toilet at high altitudes.

I saw something on TV about it awhile ago. They seemed to indicate about 75% failure rate. Probably a better survival rate, than jumping off the Golden Gate. Some even survive that.

That’s very likely since those wheel wells aren’t pressurized. The count would also miss any successful stowaways whose presence was never detected, assuming that there were any.

Guess he didn’t get on one of the many direct illegal’s flights we are chartering every day (to all points US), from points across Central America.

Meal service in the wheel well depends on today's migratory bird pattern.
