Dead Body Found In Landing Gear Of Plane That Landed In France
French officials are investigating how a dead body was found in the landing gear of an airplane that arrived from Douala airport in Cameroon. The CAMAIRCO airplane landed at Roissy-Charles de Gaulle Airport... (www.thefloridanewsjournal.com) Más...Whatever happened to preflight walkaround inspections?
Nothing. Those that have been witnessed doing this jump a fence and climb onto the landing gear after the plane has left the terminal. Obviously a pilot's walk-around is not going to find this, as he is.... in the cockpit taxing the airplane.
Either they missed him or he waited til afterwards before getting in. Apparently he wanted to get out of Cameroon but had no idea what he was exposing himself to.
Missed an asshole racked up in a wheelwell? Maybe! The guy that did the walkaround would probably have missed a deflated strut, flat tire, fluids pouring out of an engine nacelle, etc. etc. Ahhhh, life is good!
Ya thank????LOL
Ground personel in African airports especially this region are notorioulsy corrupt, they will take payments for or just take anything they can get away with..which is a lot. They work on the crony system and it is very well organized. The international airport in Lagos Nigeria has some of the most systematic theivery rings going and will help anyone out for a price. The over the fence activity is extraordianry from the top down. This kinda thing happens all the time and lot of people, pilots and security as well look the other way for their own saftey concerns...It may look organized but its the law of the jungle every day.There is nothing very shocking about this story,. most people have no idea in this country how thick the violence and corruption truly is...there is a new isolated war going on everyday amonst tribal outfits.
