US Teenager Survives Five-Hour Flight In Wheel Well - 21 April 2014
California Teen Survives Flight To Hawaii In Jet's Wheel Well - 21 April 2014
A 16-year-old boy survives an extraordinary journey hidden in the wheel well of a five-hour flight from California to Hawaii.
Did boy, 16, hitch ride from California to Hawaii in plane's landing gear?
The first sign something was off was when the ground crew at Kahului Airport in Maui noticed a boy wandering the tarmac, dazed and confused.
The story he told officials was even more incredible.
The 16-year-old apparently hitched a ride from San Jose, California, to Maui, Hawaii, in the landing gear wheel well of a Boeing 767, Hawaiian Airlines said Sunday.
"Our primary concern now is for the well-being of the boy, who is exceptionally lucky to have survived," the airline said.
He certainly is.
If his story pans out -- and the FBI has been called in to investigate -- he rode in the tiny cramped compartment for almost five hours, at altitudes that reached 38,000 feet, without oxygen and under sub-zero temperatures.
