Gruesome Airplane Story
Wow, a pretty gruesome story. A guy who was
likely a stowaway on a South African Airways passenger got chewed up and spit out of the wheel well, and several pieces
of his body fell from the sky and onto a house in South Floral Park, New York.
The plane was bound for John F. Kennedy International Airport from Johannesburg, South Africa. Very awful and quite sad, although someone is bound to make jokes about it (I'll have to Tivo John Stewart tonight just to see).

Luckily president Bush has promised to do his best to fight poverty in Africa. Knowing Mr Bush there will soon be no more stowaways.

The link doesn't work so I can't read the full story :(. I'm assuming he tried to hide in the wheel well.
I had often wondered if it was possible for someone to hide in the wheel compartment. I'm sure I got the idea from a movie or TV show at some point (maybe he did too). I figured the mechanics wouldn't waste space though and that it'd be pretty scary trying it because once you realized there wasn't room - it'd be too late.
