Stowaway on plane

Can you believe a person could be so desperate to risk their life, he must surely have been aware of the danger. How he managed to evade detection from airport staff is a worry also.

Shocking news. Can you imagine that! Doesn't bare thinking about. As cinders said, how on earth did he get past airport staff, very worrying, they need to step up security.

The plane flew at 40.000ft for most of the flight, so stood no chance.

Huge shock for the sunbather, which has led to him returning home for a while, the photograph shows how hard the impact was.

It truly is horrifying. God only knows what that poor soul must have gone through up there. Sheer desperation on his part, never knowing that he was destined to die. Truly sad.

Sadly he wasn't the first and he certainly wont be the last, not a nice way to go.

It was from Nairobi I expect the security is not as stringent there .

I read reports that he was an airport worker so maybe that is why he avoided security.

Cannot stop thinking about his family, hope they are getting support. If he was airport staff it is sad that he was not missed by fellow workers.
