NEW YORK (CNN) -- A man was found dead Tuesday night in the wheel well of a
British Airways plane at new York's John F. Kennedy International Airport,
authorities said.

These guys are nuts!. 2 or 3 weeks ago there was a Discovery or
TLC program that highlighted the case of a Cuban defector that hid in
a passenger jet wheelwell. He flew from Cuba to Canada and survived.
The cruise portion of the flight was at 30K ft. or better. The point
of the show was to figure out how the man survived the hours at 30K
ft. They couldn't do it.

You can survive 30kft without oxygen, people have climbed Everest without O2
after all. Mind you they were all brain damaged afterwards. It's the
temperature that might be more of a problem.

Maybe this new wave of wheelwell hoppers also watch cable? While
not very encouraging, the show did illustrate that the feat could be
performed successfully.
