Body Found in DL 777 Landing Gear Bay.

I know a guy who saw the aftermath of what the nosewheel did to the guy who tried to stow away from a flight departing Africa. Well, apparently, the site of frozen parts and pieces (let's just say the nosewheel spinning at 180mph-plus) did quite a number on him.

And then it froze...

Ewww!

Ouch...hate to be the person who had to clean that one up.
 
2 years in a row a body fell from the wheel well frozen solid and cracked like a vase on impact when the planes were flying over Long Beach back on Long Island. Pretty much at the same spot. One was in the parking lot of a seafood store the other was across the water at a hospital. (insert joke).
 
I don't understand how people come up with these ideas and actually think they work. Another question I have is..... How in the world do you sneak into the bay of the landing gear in the first place. Do these people just somehow magically hop the fence and get in?

I know it is wrong but I have to throw it in here. That must have been a.... chilling... experience :rotfl:
 
Depending on the climb, AND if he survived the gear retraction (rare), he may have been lucky to last 20 minutes.

Strange that he was trying to leave America - usually you see it with people trying to get in.

The airplane had done LOS-ATL-JFK-NRT, so I'd be willing to bet he went for a very long ride...

Probably only found him when mx opened up the gear doors on a check. Would be hard or impossible to see someone tucked back up in that gear bay without the doors being open.
