Summary
A body was found in the wheel well of a United Airlines Boeing 787-10 upon its arrival in Maui from Chicago’s O’Hare Airport on Dec. 24.
The deceased person’s identity and how they accessed the wheel well, which is only reachable from outside the plane, remain unknown.
The aircraft had previously flown from Sao Paulo to Chicago before continuing to Maui.
United Airlines and Maui Police are investigating the incident. No further details have been released as the story develops.
Could change if the stowaway caused a airplane crash.
That is a good point. If the landing gear gets stuck because there a mangled carcass in the mechanism, it’s going to spell bad news for everyone onboard.
Idk the doors blowing off planes didn’t seem to be a huge deal /s
