Stowaway found on plane at Miami International Airport
Authorities at Miami International Airport on Wednesday morning detained a man who stowed away in the landing gear of a plane that arrived from the Dominican Republic.
An airline employee noticed the man as he climbed from a wheel of American Airlines flight 680 shortly after it touched down from Santo Domingo, according to the Department of Homeland Security.
The man, whose name or age was not released, was in good condition, having braved below-zero temperatures during the one hour, 40 minutes flight, said Zach Mann, a DHS spokesman.
The stowaway will be repatriated to the Dominican Republic. Federal agents are investigating how he breeched airport security in Santo Domingo.
''This doesn't happen all the time,'' Mann said. ``But I've seen it in the past.''
http://www.miami.com/mld/miamiherald/8116661.htmWell, well. This is what? the third or fourth stow-away in a four month period? This happened Wednesday and got no press at all. Good find Velveeta. You're always right on top of the airline news.
