Unfortunately for the traveler, this story does not have a good ending. Apparently a stowaway intended to make the trip to Los Angeles in the wheel well of a British Airways 747 from London’s Heathrow. That’s a terribly long trip in the cabin, let alone in a cramped, cold, depressurized, virtually no oxygen environment. Unsurprisingly, the man was dead on arrival in LA when his body was discovered by routine inspection.
