A body or a bomb, it's all the same.

Air is VERY thin at 30,000 feet.

When the Queen Mary II starts making voyages are they gonna hide on the rudder?

"Air is VERY thin at 30,000 feet."As is his body at wheels up.

Gee, nice to know the ground crew are on the ball. They had to use their noses to find the guy? Wheel wells don't get a visual inspection? This dosen't pass the "smell test".

Second body found this week. Earlier it was an American Airlines flight from Jamaica.

Yeah. He hid there in Lagos, landed in London, and they didn't find him till NY? Why wasn't he found in London? Do they NOT inspect aircraft in Britain?

So much for Priceline.com.

Strong smell of decay, that usually doesn't happen right away, I suspect the poor soul actually racked up quite a few more frequent flier miles than they are claiming before being discovered.
To: EggsAckley
He's been in that wheel well for some time. Not a lot of decomposition occurs at 33,000 feet due to subzero temperatures.. Figure that he froze on flight 1, thawed somewhat during the turnaround allowing some decomposition to occur. Then he refroze on flight two, etc...
I bet he was there for at least a week.

I had the same reaction. Also, as cold as it gets "at altitude", you'd think decay would be quite delayed.
To: Gamecock
> I bet he was there for at least a week.
Which raises the question:
If he was just found on a walk-around,
why wasn't he found on the previous walk-arounds?
In other news, Howard Dean has promised, if
elected, to compel airlines to heat and
pressurize landing gear wells, so that no
further potential Democrats are lost.
To: Boundless
That is the million dollar question. From the article it sounds like the only reason he was found was the smell....

According to U.S. security officials the man may have died on the flight to London. The first officer of the British aircraft found the body shortly after landing the Boeing 747 in Kennedy Airport. During a routine inspection of the undercarriage, he noticed a strong smell of decay around the left wheel area. It is also VERY cold at 30k feet. If it was found shortly after landing, how could it have decayed?

This kind of thing is not good.
If this guy could get aboard that way, so could a terrorist.
