Ho letto anch'io la notizia sulla BBC, ma credo che prima dovremo aspettare delle conferme ufficiali.

a parte che con lo spazio medio nel vano carrello...più che il freddo o la mancanza di ossigeno o salaminchia...l'ha ucciso la retrazione al decollo...(sempre se la news è vera)

questa mattina ho trovato questo sul Daily Mail:

Horror of residents in plush London suburb as stowaway who had been clinging to a plane plunges to his death in the middle of street.
A stowaway appears to have plunged thousands of feet onto a quiet residential street after his frozen body dropped out of an aeroplane's undercarriage as it came in to land.

The body of the man, thought to be in his 30s and from North Africa, was found on a car parked in a road near London Heathrow Airport by shocked residents at 7:55am yesterday morning.

Locals in Mortlake, south west London, said the man had suffered multiple injuries and parts of his body had flown up to 20ft away ‘like a melon being whacked’ - but nobody else was injured.

He said: ‘His head was twisted one way and one of his legs was the wrong way round. His hip had popped out and one of his arms was behind him the wrong way.

‘Bits of his body were just everywhere, and the police were putting their cones by them. The bits had spread about 20 to 30ft away and there was a bit of him in front of my car.

‘He was wearing blue jeans, white trainers and a dark jumper. There was a big pool of blood coming from his head. No-one was around him when I first saw him
‘It has been a bit sombre and it's quite creepy. It was a good six hours before it was all clean. The council (employee) had to come and clean it and he just had a broom and a bucket.’

The only pieces of evidence left on the scene today were dark smears on the pavement where the blood was cleared up and a bunch of lilies and a rose left by neighbours to mark the spot.

Richard Taylor, from the Civil Aviation Authority, said this kind of incident was not the first of its kind and added that there was very little chance of survival for stowaways.

He said: ‘The temperatures in the undercarriage reach -40C (-40F) at high altitudes, so the person has basically frozen to death. There is virtually no chance of someone surviving that.’

‘It is a very dangerous environment. Very often people get crushed to death by the landing gear when it retracts. It is surprising that people still do it. I guess they don’t realise they have very little chance of surviving.’

He added: 'When the landing gear comes down at the other end, a couple of miles from the runway and about 2,000ft in the air, if there is a person who had died they would fall out.'

The flight path over Portman Avenue where the body was found, around 10 miles from Heathrow, is where the planes opens their undercarriage and lower wheels ready for landing.

A 58-year-old man who lives one door down from where the body was found but did not wish to be named, added: ‘No one saw him fall because it was early on a Sunday morning.

STOWAWAYS FROM AFRICA AND US

In 2001, a man fell from a British Airways Boeing 777 which was heading towards Heathrow and landed in a Homebase car park in Richmond, only a mile away from Mortlake.

Last month, the body of a stowaway was found in the landing gear bay of a British Airways Boeing 747 passenger jet that landed at Heathrow.

The flight was from Cape Town - and it was believed the man could have been someone spotted scaling the fence at that airport the night before.

In November 2010 a teenage stowaway fell thousands of feet from an aeroplane in the US when the landing gear came out on its approach.

Delvonte Tisdale, 16, was trying to get to Baltimore, Maryland, and was on the flight to Boston, Massachusetts, from Charlotte, North Carolina.

Notizie come queste sono veramente raccapriccianti!

Notizie come queste sono veramente raccapriccianti!

sembra che le vittime siano ignare del tutto di quello che le succederà !.......

[giragyro]

qualcuno , a volte , ce la fa ...alla fine degli anni 80 un ragazzo cubano arrivò vivo a destinazione dopo un volo di quasi 4 ore sempre nel vano del carrello . certo che giocarsi la vita così ...significa essere davvero disperati oltre ogni immaginazione .

Io non penso che non siano consapevoli del rischio che corrono.
Evidentemente per lui come per tanti altri è meglio rischiare di morire per una vita migliore che convivere con la propria. E' questo che dovrebbe far pensare.

Non e' questione di consapevolezza ma di ignoranza.
La società per cui lavoro ha un sito produttivo nella parte più remota dello ZIMBABWE dove la scolarizzazione e' zero e avere una bicicletta uno status symbol.
Per cui quando dici di arrivare dall'Italia ti chiedono se sia un posto lontano o raggiungibile in bici, oppure ti mostrano una cartina Dell Africa dicendo che Italia non la trovano.
Potrei andare avanti con decine di aneddoti di quanto e' stato fatto ad avvio dell impianto (compreso il corso in due tappe per l uso del piccone )
La mancanza di scuole e di istruzione e' una delle principali piaghe di quello sfortunato continente.

Ma infatti, alla base di tutto c'è l'ignoranza (in senso letterale) di gran parte di quelle popolazioni: se una persona è analfabeta o quasi, pensate che sia in grado di sapere che la temperatura alle quote di crociera di un liner è attorno ai -50 C°? Oppure che i vani carrelli non sono pressurizzati e quindi se non si muore di freddo si muore di ipossia? L'ignoranza è fattore scatenante di guerre, odio, ideologie aberranti, terrorismo e altre tristi cose. Un mondo migliore è quello in cui il sapere è alla portata di ogni essere umano.
