Swordsman,
Don't know what your point is. This thread is about the sad death of a stowaway in the wheel well of a B747. "ALL companies have had incidents with engineering". Are you sure? MANY companies and airlines have suffered engineering related incidents that are well documented. Just as there are many companies and airlines that have suffered incidents, and indeed accidents, that were not engineering related in the slightest. Calling into question the abilities of El AL's engineers isn't really contributing much to the discussion about how to prevent this kind of tragedy happening again.
