A 16-year-old boy has survived a dangerous journey hidden in the wheel well of airplane. It
was a 5-hour flight from California to Hawaii.
The boy had run away from home and climbed a fence at the airport in San Jose, California.
He crossed the tarmac and crawled into the wheel well of Hawaiian Airlines flight 45.
According to FBI special agent Tom Simon, The boy quickly lost consciousness as
temperatures in the compartment sank as low as minus 80 degrees Fahrenheit. It was 62
degrees Celsius below zero.
The boy got an apparent miracle. After he had been unconscious for most of the journey, the
boy regained his consciousness about an hour after the plane landed on Sunday morning. The
boy hopped down from the wheel well. He started wandering around the airport grounds,
where was spotted by ground crew.
The boy was turned over to local child protection officials. A medical examination showed
that he appeared to have been unharmed.
Since records began in 1947, about 100 wheel well stowaways are thought to have attempted
to board flights. Around three-quarters of them died.
“Our primary concern now is for the well-being of the boy, who is exceptionally lucky to
have survived” Hawaiian Airlines said in a statement
