Frieda simply can not imagine why anyone would choose this mode of travel, but twice this month it has been attempted and twice it has ended in death. Was this done to prove it could be done or were life situations so desparate it was worth any risk to escape to freedom? Perhaps we will never know.

On January 12, Delta found the body of a young African man after the plane landed in Atlanta from Dakar, Senegal - the man was suffocated to death by the landing gear.

Now another incident is being investigated. A pilot for British Airways found the body of a young male stowaway in the wheel well of the 747-400 which had landed in LA and was preparing to return to London. The cause of death as well as where the stowaway got on the plane are being investigated.
