"John Gaquin" wrote in message ... 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. snip 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. John Galban=====N4BQ (PA28-180) -ash for assistance dial MYCROFTXXX |
