That's pretty terrible... but I'm impressed that outboard stowaways like this are now gearing up with warm clothes and oxygen to give themselves a racing chance at surviving the flight. It's a testament to the power of the global media that stories of people arriving encased in blocks of ice in the front gardens of Surrey have disseminated widely enough for these efforts to be made.
A few questions:
- absent the gear up landing which presumably crushed them, would they have survived with oxygen and warm clothes?
- if they knew how to get hold of an oxygen tank, why weren't they canny enough to beg, steal or borrow their way onto a commercial flight?
