I’m right with you. At -50/-80, he would at least have significant frostbite to fingers,toes,ears,nose and eyelids.
That low of a air pressure would cause lung damage.
Lack of oxygen for 5 1/2 hours = Brain Damage.
I’d be interested if there was a access panel to the hold in the wheel well.
I think he hopped in the cargo hold.


It’s reported that the Maui airport camera recorded him exiting the wheel well. There are instances of this being survived.

Read this.

At 25.000 feet you will collapse and death is imminent unless oxygen is restored.

I suspect cases where people have survived extended trips in wheel wells were below the altitude claimed in this story.
