Re: Man trapped in Cargo Hold.....tabloid!

I remember hearing a story of two guys who got locked in the compartment of a 757 - forgot which airline and where. Somebody noticed they were missing before the plane left the gate but in an interview they said they had planned on putting a lighter (lid cigarette) to the smoke detector in the hold to raise the alarm - something that would no doubt have killed them since the first reaction of a fire system is to suck out all the oxygen in the affected area.
