Dead man found in landing gear of US jet in Japan

TOKYO (AFP) - – Japanese authorities have found the body of a man in the landing gear of a Delta airliner that arrived in Tokyo from New York and said Monday they were seeking US help in identifying him.

The man, who was of dark complexion and dressed only in blue jeans and a long-sleeved shirt, was carrying no passport or personal belongings.

A mechanic found the body in the landing gear bay of the Boeing 777 after Delta Flight 59 landed at Tokyo's Narita International Airport at about 6:05 pm local time Sunday, a Chiba prefecture police spokesman said.

"Doctors say he probably froze to death and that he suffered a shortage of oxygen at an altitude of more than 10,000 metres (about 30,000 feet)," said another police official, Narita airport station spokesman Yoshimi Ichihara.

"We found no passport, no bag and no personal belongings. If he carried any luggage, it must have all dropped out when the airplane opened up the hatch of the landing gear bay above the ocean before it landed."

Japan was seeking help from US police to identify him, he said.

At least our Local Talent MSK is smarter than this American FT! :p

This stun is an outdated 3rd world peasants' trick that will lethally fail these days except for very short flights. The jets fly very high these days, and for much longer distance. In the old days many 3rd world peasants pulled such tricks with propeller driven flights that are flying lower and shorter distance.

These days unless you haul several large oxygen tanks and wear 2 layers of diving suit + oxygen masks, you will die like this peasant. Even if you are so equipped, your journey will cause you to be badly injured and sick if not dead. Even Jacky Chan is already too old for this stun.:p, James Bond can still try lah.
