He was probably dead before he fell, when they opened the landing gear doors. Temp at 39000 feet is about 100° below zero........

Planes now start showing on the video screen what the outside temperature is, and yes, it’s pretty damn cold at that altitude.

Passenger obviously went out for a cigarette. Darn those no smoking signs.

I have my doubts as to whether Africa is the actual ‘homeland’ of human ancestry........

Precisely my point. Dead Black male = GZ is the murderer.

I'm afraid you are right. Most stowaways don't realize this. They are just looking for the easiest exit from their socialist black-ruled paradise.

This is a tough way to exit.

FWIW, the adiabatic lapse rate averages 3 degrees Fahrenheit per 1000 feet increase in altitude.

Why do they think that hiding in the wheel well where it will extremely cold and practically airless (not to mention the real possibility of being crushed by the retracting gear) is a good idea? Maybe they are so ignorant of high altitudes that they are willing to take the chance.

This, I swear, is a spam e-mail I received some years ago, about another stowaway from Ouagadougou

From: "MAJOR SIMON TIMOTHY"
Date: July 7, 2008 3:25:22 PM EDT
To: undisclosed-recipients:;
Subject: PowwebSpam GREETTINGS TO YOU(VERY URGENT)
Reply-To: < george.joverend@inbox.ru >

Hello
I pray that this email reaches you in the best of health. This letter may come to you as a surprise due to the fact that we have not yet met. The message could be strange but it's real and you will realize this if you pay some attention to it. I want to notify you about it at least for the sake of your integrity.
My name is Major Simon timothy, a direct and only remaining member of the wealthy Timothy's family. I am an astronaut with the Burkina Faso Air Force and on loan to the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). In 2003 I left earth aboard the Mars Rover, Spirit. Seven months later I arrived on Mars. Prior to departing earth, I deposited the amount of US$ 11,600,000 (Eleven million, six hundred thousand United States dollars) in four safety galvanized boxes in a European financial institution which will be disclosed to you upon your acceptance of my proposal.
Last year, during the course of my research on Mars, I was ambushed by a group of anal dwelling rebel Martians who inflicted great torturous pain upon my body with anal probes. After a few weeks of enduring the physical pain, they released me. As a direct result of this cruelty, I am now very ill with a ruptured uterus that has defiled all forms of medical treatment and which has been deemed to be inoperable by my Martian surgeons. I am writing this mail to you on a laptop from my hospital bed in the Martian capital of Zhwrong. I now have but a few weeks to live and I am far too ill to endure the long and arduous journey back to my Burkina Faso home. Therefore I have decided to donate the bulk of my fortune to a church or charitable organization that will utilize this money in the manner which I shall impart to you later. In return for your assistance, I shall authorize you to keep 30% of this fund for your trouble and aggravation plus an additional 10% to cover your expenses.
You should contact my attorney in Ouagadougou immediately with your address and Telephone number and he will give you his full contact information and guidance so that we can make arrangements as soon as possible.
CONTACT ADDRESS OF THEATTORNEY.HON. BARRISTER GEORGE OVEREND CHAMBERS.TELPHONE: TELL: +447024025082: FAX:+ 448704717069 E-MAIL:george.joverend@inbox.ru
SINCERELY YOURS, MAJOR SIMON TIMOTHY,

Reinhold Messner might be able to survive that high without supplemental oxygen and the appropriate acclimation and clothing, but the person we are talking about here probably wasn't even conscious, either from the drop in pressure, or the temperature. Most likely dead very quickly.

...it’s pretty damn cold at that altitude.

Not to mention air too thin to breathe.

I saw Arnold Schwarzneggar do this in a movie once and he was fine.

I think that movie was Rae Dawn Chong’s last hoorah.

I’m thinking back to the Payne Stewart crash when the plane lost pressure, they estimated it was a matter of seconds before the passengers were gone.
