I know this isn't the first time something like this has happened and it won't be the last but I find the fact that the guy had packed a bag and had some water and food with him really sad. Makes you think of the human side of the situation. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-7201733/Body-London-garden-fell-Heathrow-bound-plane.html

Had he got into the wheel housing and fallen out as the undercarriage was lowered coming in to land?
Question Author
Yes, they have been known to land in Asda's car park in Richmond
How sad.:-(
Imagine travelling like that for eight hours.
He was probably dead after about an hour or so into the flight.
Question Author
Depends on the cold and other factors. There were two brothers who stowed away in the undercarriage bay and one of them died but his body kept the other one alive and he made it to the UK. I seem to remember he was granted asylum and to be honest, after that ordeal I think he deserved it.
Yes indeed. Jet planes typically cruise at around 30,000-35,000 ft where the outside temperature is around -60. No chance of surviving that for more than a few minutes.

*get asylum*

Really? Not charged with endangering an aircraft and all aboard, and indeed some not aboard? No thoughts on causing a malfunction in the landing gear with potentially catastrophic results? Just a reward for foolish, selfish, behaviour. Righto.

No.
Doesn't say much for airport security. He could have been a bomb.
Some people have no humanity, have a little compassion for a change Togo eh? x
Calico....but some people DO lack compassion and sympathy and a guy falling out of an aeroplane whom you have never met, do exist.....and i am one of them. It must be a personality disorder....or something. i lack empathy, i find it difficult to grieve or have empathy in sometimes the most intimate of situations.
AB gushes with people who can't wait to say.."sorry about the death of your dog, father, sibling" whoever and "I hope you feel better today" so on and so forth and i cannot understand this for the life of me. going on about the death of some relative and still grieving years after the event.......to me and many others like me, does not make sense.
So....give them a bit of space eh,they are not abnormal in the psychiatric sense, they just react differently.
Perhaps he cares more for 300 innocent passengers than one criminal, eh? eh? eh?. (lol, that's a bad habit you've picked up, young lady.)
Blumming heck. Now sqad's saying it.
Different points of view, which is normal. My only thought is how desperate must anyone be to do such a dangerous thing ?
Poor soul.
Question Author
The people who stow away in the undercarriage bay are just that - stowaways. They are not a threat to the security of the aircraft, trust me.
Trust you? Not flaming likely. I'll trust normal people who discourage it.
