DA: Teen found near Boston likely fell from plane

[GhostTX]

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?

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.

I agree.

From one of the other articles posted in this thread:

"The wheel wells of a plane are not pressurized like the cabin is. As a result, you'd feel the effects of hypoxia or a lack of oxygen at 35 to 40,000 feet," said McCarron.

If that didn't kill him, the minus 30 to 40 degree temperatures probably would have. The stowaway likely thought he could make the journey, since the wheel well of a jetliner is deceptively large.

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

Brass balls? I imagine he had no idea that the landing gear collapses in that plane the way it did. He probably got stuck in a pretty contorted position and died from asphyxiation due to the altitude. When the landing gear doors opened and the landing gear came down, his dead body just literally dumped out. I imagine the wind from the uncontrolled free fall would have been enough to remove his shoes and baggy shirt.

It doesn't take balls to die if you never imagined dying.

Survival of the fittest! Let's just hope he didn't already reproduce. That's one strand of DNA that obviously needed to be weeded out.

let all the Jihadis in the world try that shit on any flight that maintains a 35,000 foot altitude for 30 minutes or longer.

I'm guessing the family will sue the airport for their lack of ability to locate their victimized child making a fatal mistake. He didn't know he was going to be killed - the airport should protect us all from making such mistakes. Welcome to the new America.

Hopefully I'm wrong, but I wouldn't put it past them to try and sue....

I only made it a little over 2 minutes at 35,000 and it was lights out, don't remember shit. Went thru altitude chamber training when i crewed tankers in the USAF.

Watched Commando the day before. it worked for the Govenator and he is a real dude and alive today.

What a moron. Apparently the Air Force ROTC did not cover altitude and the affects it has on your body.
