A dead body was found lodged in the wheel well of a United Airlines plane when it arrived in Maui, Hawaii, on Christmas Eve, officials said.
Flt. 202 took off of Chicago’s O’Hare International Airport on Tuesday around 9:49 a.m. and arrived at Kahului Airport about 2:12 p.m., according to the airline and data from FlightAware.
The body was discovered in a landing-gear wheel well of the Boeing 787-10 — an area that can only be accessed from outside the plane, United Airlines told The Post.

A wheel well isn’t designed with passengers or cargo in mind.
Desperate to leave Chicago. Still, extreme.
TV version:
Chief: The body was found under the plane in the wheel well.
Detective: How long ago did the plane take off? Can we see the airport digital views?
Chief: That’s just it. This man was Vietnamese. He died fleeing the fall of Saigon. In 1975.
Detective: Looks like I picked the wrong week to give up drinking.
This is not the first case.

Over 77% of the people who have attempted to hitch an illegal ride on an aircraft have died, the Federal Aviation Administration said.
Didn’t one of the Afghans fleeing the Taliban during Joe’s disaster freeze to death in a wheel well?
It’s hard to see how a human could survive long at 36,000 feet.
I guess the passenger was finally using their frequent flyer miles.
RIP. Apart from extreme weather clothing, you also need an oxygen tank.
I remember reading of this happening back in the 1960s. Trying to flee their country the found a way to squeeze themselves into the wheel well compartment. Problem was one froze to death, the other fell to his death when the wheel well was opened while coming in for a landing.
That’s an upgrade on United Airlines..
Someone who ran afoul of the Obama cartel?
Nor the first post (literally 2nd post below).

C’mon, man.
(Didn’t one of the Afghans fleeing the Taliban during Joe’s disaster freeze to death in a wheel well?)
Yes!
At all.
And it won’t be the last either.
Perhaps.
And the **AHEM** lodging.
Carrion Luggage Ping ..........
They should start putting oxygen masks in there.
