Terrible writing!
During the Vietnam War the US experimented with tiny kinetic missiles dropped from low flying aircraft. Each weighed around an ounce I believe and was conical shaped. After one run an officer surveying damage said it looked like the ground was tenderized. Also one of the projectiles entered the next of a solider and exited out his groin.
That happened in Boston once. It was a “troubled teen” from North Carolina. It happened at night. They found a frozen body in the street and it didn’t take long to figure out where it came from (vertically). Some time bracketing narrowed down the list of potential landing aircraft, and some “old fashioned police work” turned up the identity of the missing teen.
Obviously a breach of airport security. If someone can stowaway someone else can plant a bomb.

"Another bloody Kenyan in Clapham, lads..."
Whomp WHOMP! Like an illegal meteor.
One would think the word would get out to these ‘migrants’ that one does not survive hitchhiking a ride in a plane’s wheel well. This is NOT how you will achieve your dreams.
That Sunbather will probably never forget the sudden vibration of the impact as that body hurtled down to the earth. I’ve felt certain earthquakes that I will never forget.
The real criminal in the story is the UK government that acts like a refugee magnet.
If they were made of steel they could clean up the scene with a big magnet. I wonder why this never caught on. I suppose they are pretty heavy.

Plans are like your children no matter how bad they are you still love them.
Sounds like Kenyans need more iron in their diets.

Dead before he fell 3,500 feet.
Hope enjoyed the ride down. It is only the last foot that is a bummer.
good one..!!!

“The force of the impact was so severe that police were initially unable to tell whether the body was male or female.”
Or, as we learned yesterday from the u.k., possibly dozens of other gender classifications. Sounds like the coppers need to return to school for some more education.

Don’t you hate it when people drop by unexpectedly?
