RIP. What a terrible way to go.

Haven't there been a few that have made it??

If the flight doesn't go above FL290, you probably have a good chance of making it. Something like BOS-LGA isn't that high for more than a few minutes.

This guy made it in 2000:

"Stowaways who survive are usually sent back to their country of origin. That was the case with Fidel Maruhi, who lived through an ascent of 38,000 feet inside the wheel well of a Los Angeles-bound Air France flight originating in Tahiti in 2000.

Maruhi was hospitalized with a body temperature of 79 degrees Fahrenheit -- well into the fatal range -- after he was found at Los Angeles International Airport. He was treated for four days for frostbite and hypothermia, then sent home."

I've seen it happen successfully in several movies and even TV shows.
I think one guy did some wing walking during his.

I'm still trying to figure out how Leonardo Di Caprio unscrewed the toilet seat, crawled through the space and escaped onto the taxiway in "Catch Me If You Can".

You know, that whole toilet assembly is just a platform hanging over the "candy tank".

Hmm.

"Positive rate, rigor mortis."

RIP to the fallen, I guess.

Hurray for the gene pool, too, I suppose.
