How inconsiderate!
John Baldock, who has a master's degree in engineering from Oxford University, was just chilling in the garden of a $3 million home outside London when he heard a thud.
"There was an almighty bang. At first I thought it was some scaffolding falling down and thought nothing more about it," one of Baldock's neighbors told the Daily Mail. But it wasn't. It was the sound of a frozen body hitting the ground after falling from 3,500 feet. Police later said the victim was likely a stowaway who had hidden inside the landing gear of a Kenya Airways flight that landed at Heathrow, about 10 miles from the house where his body was found. Upon inspection, food and drinking water was found within the wheel well. The body created a huge crater in the lawn and smashed two concrete paving slabs. Transcontinental planes typically fly at 35,000 feet or higher, where conditions can become extreme. Temperatures drop to as low as minus 80 degrees Fahrenheit and oxygen becomes thin. https://www.dailywire.com/news/49075...b_5Yc7nI8a65Lc |

They need to file a claim against the airline for that damage. Really, it's the stowaway's responsibility to pay, but I'm guessing anyone stowing away in the wheel well of an international flight probably doesn't have any money to collect. The airline's negligence in failing to discover the stowaway means they should pay.

Notice the absence of blood and gore? That mofo was frozen like a fish stick. I guess he didn't study altitude, temperature, and lack of oxygen in Obozo's old high school.
