DA: Teen found near Boston likely fell from plane

^^ And if he was in there at the gate if the ground crew were doing their job they would have found him. Just sayin!!

[Racewerx]

Well that's one way to get around TSA.

[SMKR]

that is messed up

[Captain Crawfish]

you gotta admit the guy had some brass balls to pull that kind of stunt. not sure if id rather take my chances dying in the wheel well or falling to my death. the fall would be almost instant so that was probably the best choice. I bet those turbines were loud as hell! probably pissed his pants

[terminator03]

If they would have had scanners in the wheel well this could have been avoided.

lol

Not to mention that take-off speed is 150-160 mph. If he was in the air any time at all, he was moving at 200mph. I don't care how far you fall, the sheer speed will tear your ass up.

Never would've happened if the plane had taken on a treadmill

Looks like he made the whole flight in the wheel well. I'm guessing he was probably already dead before They opened the landing gear and fell out?

Thats a good point! But they did not mention any signs of blood in the wheel well along with the hand print?

Sounds like another Dawin candidate. I hope nobody gets sued over his stupidity.

[SMKR]

wow that is crazy!!

There have been a few news stories recently of people successfully riding in wheel wells, and some not successfully. I am damn dear 100% sure this was a copy cat case. This kid was not the first and wont be the last. DUmb ass people

The teen had high hopes, unfortunately, everything came crashing to a halt.

Yea thats what it sounded like to me, took off from N.C. and his dead body fell out when they lowered the gear on final. Could have been worse, like going thru the engine.
