If I were that guy, once I got to Hawaii, I would be yelling "Hell No, I Won't Go"

An African guy did this on a flight to the UK but he didn't survive. As the aircraft started its approach to London Heathrow it lowered the landing gear and this guy fell out, falling to his death on the street below.

I wonder, too. Maybe the cold temperatures reduced his need for oxygen or something.

I hope we take the opportunity to learn from this, both about how he survived and about how he was able to get into the wheel well in the first place.

Was he already dead when they lowered the landing gear? If not, he was surely at least unconscious.
