I have no sympathy for those who die in wheel wells.
Whenever we return from India or Africa, I always think about stowaways when we're flying an approach to one of LHR's westerly runways. I hope and pray I'm not about to drop a frozen body onto the innocent people of London as I move the gear lever to the down position.
If they're prepared to die trying to seek a better life then that's their choice, unfortunately plenty of desperates die in boats, cargo containers, trains etc. every year. My concern with airline stowaways is the risk their actions have on the people who live beneath the approach paths to international airports.
I'm also amazed at the pathetic torches some of my colleagues use when they do a walk-around. As a result, it's not surprising bodies go undetected for a few flights.
