“Japanese authorities are trying to identify a body found inside one of the landing gear compartments on a Delta Airlines plane flight that arrived in Tokyo from New York.”
“The body of the apparent stowaway, identified only as that of a male with dark skin, was clad in a long-sleeved plaid shirt and jeans, said police at the Narita international airport.”
“A mechanic found the body lying inside the landing gear compartment of the Boeing 777-200 during maintenance after Delta Flight 59 from New York landed at Narita on Sunday night, police official Zenjiro Watanabe said.”
“All we know is that he must have sneaked in just before departure, because it is impossible for him to enter the storage during flight,” Watanabe said.”
“The body had no visible injuries except signs of frostbite and the man might have frozen to death during the flight, Watanabe said. The temperature in that part of the plane falls to about -50C during flight.”
Moral of this story? Do NOT wear plaid.
