Two people were found dead in the landing gear compartment of a JetBlue plane after it landed in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, the airline said in a statement on Tuesday. The bodies, which have not yet been publicly identified, were discovered Monday evening during a "routine post-flight maintenance inspection" at Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport, the airline said. "At this time, the identities of the individuals and the circumstances surrounding how they accessed the aircraft remain under investigation," JetBlue said. "This is a heartbreaking situation, and we are committed to working closely with authorities to support their efforts to understand how this occurred."

Why do idiots keep trying this? They almost never survive. The wheel compartment is not pressurized.
I think there has been only case in aviation history where a person survived a trip in the wheel well of an airplane.
But I don’t know if there have been others.
I think those two stowaways learned their lesson. They will never do that again.
They don’t manage to tell us where the flight, and presumably the deceased, originated. Useless.
Sounds like they arrived at their final destination.
Why does the song “In a Yugo” come to mind 🤔
JetBlue flies at about the same altitude as the top of Mt. Everest. Even if they install oxygen masks and heaters in the landing gear bay, you can’t survive in there.
“The wheel compartment is not pressurized.”
Don’t tell that to Biden’s people as they have 2 weeks to require all planes with retractable landing pressurize their wheel compartments (when retracted, of course).
Let me take a stab at it.

“JetBlue flies at about the same altitude as the top of Mt. Everest.”
Perhaps the Leftists will then have to do something about that. They’re not going to sit back and allow this CARNAGE of their voting base.
Perhaps they’ll have Jack Smith, who needs a job, open an investigation as to why that flight of Jet Blue reached an altitude of 35,000 feet (just guessing) when they had enough fuel to fly at 12,000 feet and thus not risking the lives of any potential stowaways, and then drag the president of Jet Blue into court to explain why he was doing that to poor, innocent, people.
Boy there’s an awful start to the day for the “routine maintenance” guy
Here’s what I don’t understand. Every airport passenger is carefully screened. As is all baggage. Yet two people can evidently just walk up to an airplane and climb right into a landing gear compartment.
Instead of climbing in themselves, they just as easily could have planted an explosive device.
Wow— you nailed it: that IS exactly how these individuals “think”, isn’t it?
THIS was my exact thought as well.
has nobody thought of cameras in the wheelwells?
Exactly. That was the key piece of information, where they came from. That they died is not a tragedy in the typical sense, unusual or even unexpected.
I could give a shxt about the idiots. The main concern should be how did they get there.
Two people wander onto a supposedly secured airport i.e. JFK and climb into a wheelchair well... They could have planted a bomb.
TSA is a joke and always has been.
“The aircraft had flown in from New York City’s John F. Kennedy International Airport”
If illegals want to fly into the country Biden will pay for it anyway. With our money, I mean.
