Shock as human body falls from Air France Airbus A330 during flight
It’s not something that many people will experience (or want to experience) in life. Yesterday, in the West African country of Niger, an unsuspecting resident was out and about in the early morning, when suddenly out of nowhere a human body came hurling down from the sky, landing metres away on the ground.

The wheel well is coach on RyanAir.
I agree this is a tragic experience, and I'm not making light of that, but, who in their right mind thinks they can stow away in the landing gear well? Doesn't anyone give thought to even how cold it is at 30 something thousand feet? Much less how little air there is up that high?
The average stowaway looking to escape a bad life doesn't know that!!!
Hell, if they knew that they wouldn't stow away.
I used to work at KMIA...Happened frequently. We called them Columbian Popsicles. Most of them dropped into the ocean when the gear doors opened, but every so often one would 'stick' and not fall out till landing.
Why would they hold the plane to speak to the crew and "INVESTIGATE"? Crew probably didn't know anything about it. I could see a perfunctory inspection in case of any damage but, sad as it was, no big deal and not the airlines problem. If anything, a security problem at origination point.
