From TSA to ground crew, all of them are to be blamed for this breach of security. The ground crew(GC) and pilot do a 360° walk of the aircraft within 10mins after arrival. The departing pilot usually does his own 360° before boarding. However, the GC does the final 360° walk after loading the bags and pulling all equipment from the aircraft. And we all know a lot can happen in a minute, then what about 10? So the hideout very well happened AFTER the "departure" pilot did his 360° because GC basically walks around, not thoroughly. The Pilots are usually the ones that bend down and look in all those little places, they do a thorough check around the aircraft, not GC. So I conclude that it happened after the pilot's 360°. GC and all other Securities are to blame.

As someone who’s from broward county this is crazy, makes me want to stay home from flying this year.

[@benderbendingrodriguez6697]

I can't carry a full sized cologne bottle in my luggage yet 2 people can sneak into a plane's landing gear 😕

[@drewb6107]

AGAIN????

[@jenburkholder6541]

At least they didn't fall out when they deployed the gear for landing and squish someone's house or car. Could've been worse. Sorry to them for not knowing there's no air up there and it's cold.

[@gilbertnicholas1582]

I guess these people don't know how cold it is at 30000ft

[@gsmith6026]

Or how little oxygen there is that high.

[@ragdollb9667]

Could be ground crew in Jamaica…..?

[@skyhawk_4526]

Unknown, but Jamaica is most likely where they got on. The "plane started its day" there means it was most likely parked overnight there, and there would be times it was completely unattended. FAA and every airline should put out a bulletin requiring enhanced preflight inspections of the landing gear bays. If two people can smuggle themselves into the landing gear bays undetected, then one person could even more easily smuggle a bomb into the landing gear bay undetected.

[@wolfsisterhowls]

Possibly. Last week a flight from Chicago to Hawaii had stowaways, so by that logic ground crew in Chicago?

[@superflyer991]

I was just there last Friday planespotting at their airport while waiting for my flight and now this happens.

[@armytruth6860]

Man I didn't know flying was that expensive but these people said forget that I'm going to take the express route

[@justtubing767]

It's sad to die as a stowaway on an airline that offers $59 ticket specials.

[@Ron_B.]

This happens every year. I rarely hear of anyone surviving that experience. It sounds like the tarmac security and inspections are open to planes being tampered with in a terrorist attempt.

[@wolfsisterhowls]

Are we likely to hear of the people that survive it? I doubt they'd publicise (and thus inadvertently encourage) this being successful

[@Ron_B.]

@2oneil Wow! 😯 Without oxygen and the temperatures that's amazing. I can't believe that most people could.

[@Ron_B.]

@wolfsisterhowls I agree to an extent. Without oxygen and the temperature I can't believe that most people could survive.

[@2oneil]

@Ron_B. He was unconscious and fell out and break his leg when the plane landed and came to a stop and his friend fell out in midair couple miles away from the airport.

[@Michaelcj-m2d]

Economy seating is getting bad.🤔🤔

[@Elle-gc6fh]

"At 38,000 feet, the temperature is typically around minus 85 degrees Fahrenheit (-55 Celsius)."

[@cap1900]

Does Maintenance have to make a log book entry? What ATA code do they use?

[@arrozconpollo4675]

32-911

[@cap1900]

@ 😁thanks.

[@travelingcontessa8106]

Sounds like an inside job. Someone snuck these two rocket scientists onto the tarmac but not before taking their money.

[@YachtReport]

FYI it gets to temps of below 60 Celsius once a plane gets to cruising altitude. They most likely froze to death.

[@truthserum5310]

Wrong. They lost consciousness in 15 minutes or less. You can't breath above 15,000 feet

[@tammyslaughter7141]

I wonder if they were an illegal immigrants?

[@skyhawk_4526]

Shocked if this ISN'T the case. This most likely occurred in Kingston, Jamaica. The plane "started its day" there means it was most likely parked overnight there, and there would be times it was completely unattended. FAA and every airline should put out a bulletin requiring enhanced preflight inspections of the landing gear bays. If two people can smuggle themselves into the landing gear bays undetected, then one person could even more easily smuggle a bomb into the landing gear bay undetected.

[@wolfsisterhowls]

Just as likely to be American citizens to be fair, last week the stowaways were from Chicago and LEAVING to Hawaii

[@erauprcwa]

This happened right before the last flight before they were found. It's not hard to figure out. A preflight inspection happens before every flight. If they weren't found prior to the other flights, they snuck in before the last flight departed.

[@414Chevy]

You would be surprised, how little space there is in an aircraft wheel well. Most wheel wells I've seen, during a gear retraction, with the gear doors off, there's about maybe about 8" of space around the struts and tires.

[@davewitter6565]

You could hide under a fuel, catering, lavatory, baggage bin off sight. The pilots do a walk around before every takeoff. I am surprised they are crushed when the landing gear retracts after takeoff.

[@passion4923]

How sad…those people must be desperate for whatever reason….somehow I think that they may be Jamaican😢

[@bigkev1773]

The speed of the plane and that height is crazy enough. The wind the breeze.

[@josephfitch1]

i was on a mountain one time, it was 13,000 feet, I had a hard time getting enough air, and it was cold, at the bottom it was 85 degrees F, idk how anyone could survive at 30k feet

[@Tino-kc9bd]

What’s happening in Aviation

[@vids5374]

Flying is still the safest mode of travel.

[@greglane3978]

IF you are in the pressurized cabin !!!!!!!

[@gisellesbikeseat]

Especially with all the DEI hires, bolts missing and parts falling off. No thanks.
