A Delta Airlines flight 59 from New York landed in Tokyo was undergoing maintenance when a body was found in the landing gear. The body of a man was discovered by a mechanic during a routine maintenance check. The Boeing 777-200 landing gear compartment only accessible just before take off. Japanese authorities suspect the man was a stowaway and looks to have died of hypothermia and frostbite. There didn't appear to be any other injuries to the body. Experts explain that during flight the landing gear and luggage compartments temperatures can fall to as low as minus 58 degrees on long flights. They have still not been able to identify the body that was only wearing a long sleeved shirt and jeans.

The flight originated at JFK. I’m more concerned that this stowaway wasn’t spotted by airport security. What if he was planting a bomb instead of stowing away?

The terrifying thing is, merely putting an explosive in there without being detected is easier than taking a ride.

My theory is that the victim was stuffed in wheel well by union thugs for not cooperating with the union plan of importing drugs and weapons into the U.S.
