Poor guy's gonna get caned. If I were to stow away on a flight I'd go to a country with a more lax penal code and pick an airplane where the drop to the ground is not as high.

What happens to him in S'pore is up to them. I would like to know what the Malaysians are doing about it. If he could stow himself away, what was to stop him leaving a little package in the wheel bay...

Having attended 3 separate dead bodies embedded in aircraft nosegear, I'm amazed that anyone survived this. They were probably the most unpleasant things I had to attend in my career at big airports; the one that got to me most was the 12-yr-old boy from Nairobi. They reckon he was killed by the gear retraction, rather than hypoxia or hypothermia.

At least I knew what I was going to. The people I felt most for on the ground were the ground crew meeting the a/c, unexpectedly seeing a lifeless person hanging upside down from the nose leg.
