“Every once in a while, a plane gets a stowaway who is too stupid to realize that the plane’s landing wheel area is not pressurized or heated.”
Given the lack of heat or pressurization, the guy was likely dead before he even hit the ground - right?
He was likely read 30 minutes into the flight and frozen solid...........
Oh, I'm sure. Probably dead by the time the plane hit cruising altitude some 7 hours previous, or at least unconscious. I mean... there's not much air 6 miles up, is there? And the temperatures are around 60 below zero.
From the article: "He added: “I spoke to Heathrow and they said this happens once every five years. There was a previous man who was frozen and this one, he was like an ice block.” "
He died from lack of oxygen when the plane reached cruising altitude, and then his dead body froze, as at 30,000 feet it's generally about -40F. So, yes.
