On a United Airlines flight landing in Hawaii, a dead body was discovered in the wheel well, leading to an investigation by local authorities.
The body was found in a compartment underneath the plane that holds the retractable landing gear, an area confirmed to be accessible only from outside.
Low oxygen levels and extreme temperatures in wheel wells make survival rare during flights, underscoring the dangers involved with attempting to hide in such spaces.
The ongoing investigation is seeking to determine how the individual accessed the wheel well, amid speculation but no confirmation of a stowaway incident.
