Police are investigating the possibility that Tisdale stowed away in a jet wheel well and fell to his death when the doors opened on the jet's approach to landing last week in Boston, according to an airport spokesman.

Boston...where the FBI collaborated with Whitey Bulger and the Winter Hill Gang, to the point of condoning, or even suggesting, murder. The FBI and local police and many others all worked to help Whitey.
Then there is the coverup of that college professor who shot her brother with a shotgun, just coming to light, from so long ago.
Sure, the teen fell out of an airplane wheel well. The evidence so far? Planes sometimes pass over Milton on the way to BOS.
The kid had a pretty clean profile, as far as I’ve seen so far.
It will be interesting to see how this plays out.
He either was crushed by the retracting landing gear, froze to death or died for lack of O2.
Do you think they will attempt to cover it up so it does not look like a TSA fail?
Once again too busy staring at those hot bomb shells, catheters, and toddlers.
From now on... anyone who even thinks about flying... gets a pat down. /s
Assuming he was on an A321 Airbus, I looked for a diagram of the retracting gear, and it did not look like there was much room for a stowaway, so perhaps crushed. Looking at the usual flight pattern on flightaware for the A321, it looks like it typically reaches 35K feet. How cold is that?

Run that plane up to 35,000 feet.
Do you die of asphyxia or hypothermia first?
Well, I don’t know. My original paranoid tinfoil hat post was working on the assumption that some powerful local person had disposed of an inconvenient boy toy, and the cops were covering by claiming he’d dropped out of the sky.
A TSA coverup would have the kid be a discarded boy toy who was beaten with a sledgehammer.
We’ll have to wait and see; forensics will find out if he was frozen, asphyxiated, and or crushed, if so then the airplane thing would be plausible, if the examiner is honest.
Pretty darn cold...there’s a reason those old B-17 crews were suited up in multiple layers topped with sheepskin coveralls.
I recall reading as a child about two teens who tried to escape from Cuba by hiding in a 707 or DC-8 wheel well. One fell to his death, the other nearly died of hypothermia but lived...and that jet flew from Havana to somewhere in southerne Florida (Miami, probably) so it didn’t get anywhere near a typical cruising altitude.
You are exactly correct. All of the above are deadly in this case. Every so often I hear of one of the stowaway in the wheel well cases and they all end very gruesomely. I don’t know how anybody could be so crazy to try this.
I recall a case just like this one many, many years ago with a kid from Colombia doing exactly the same on a flight to Miami. Some poor homeowner who lived along the airport landing path awake to find a mangled mess of a body on his lawn. What a hell of a shock to experience.
How much does an examiner cost in Boston?
“How much does an examiner cost in Boston?”
lol Well, what’s your last name and how authoritative can you be when saying “Do you know who I am?”
Ask Ted Kennedy.
So whatever the autopsy results we assume the opposite? :)
re: How cold is that?
Temperature falls three and a half degrees per 1,000 feet of altitude. So at 35,000 feet it would about 122 degrees colder than at ground level. If you started out with a temp of 75 degrees it would be -40 something at 35,000 feet. Brrr!
He would not have fallen from that altitude though, they don’t lower their gear until they are near the airport and by that time they’ve descended quite a bit.
lol No, we must wait and see. This is pretty unusual.
I had been studying some stuff on Massachusetts, Bolger, FBI, and Winter Hill when I read this article. I mashed it all together and assumed that the kid did not fallout of a plane, there was a simpler, more reasonable, Massachusetts-type cause like Gerry Studds or Barney Frank or a host of priests would be involved in.
“Police told the Herald on Friday Tisdale had severe head trauma — with some of his remains found in two places on the street — and his arms and legs were broken.”

Yet they still insist it is only a “remote possibility”.
