What the actual heck???
On Christmas Eve in Hawaii, workers discovered a deceased person lodged into the wheel well of a flight from Chicago.
Apparently, someone tried to stowaway on the flight across the United States and an entire ocean.
A plane wheel well is a compartment in the wings or fuselage where the landing gear is stored when not in use. It is a hazardous location for stowaways, who could encounter low oxygen levels, hypothermia, crushing, or the risk of falling during the flight.
Stowaways often get crushed when the landing gear retracts, as there is not much room.
Hiding in an airplane's wheel well is the most common method used by stowaways in their attempts to reach their destination. According to the Federal Aviation Administration, at least 77 percent of individuals who have tried to unlawfully board an aircraft this way have died.
You can't even get a jar of peanut butter past TSA, but people are seriously stowing-away in the wheel well and cargo holds of planes? How does this even happen, ever?
I know a flight to Hawaii is expensive, but what the heck?
