Birds of a feather.

Things dey happen for 9ja oo. What a pathetic news.

Imagine paying 800k just to travel through Tyre.

STUNT 101.

He's lucky to have died in the US. Hope they bury his pieces in the US as a mark of appreciation for his personal sacrifice.

Not every stunt man gives up life trying to set a record.

Very sad news.

This is really touchy indeed and I'm so sorry for him and his family but he should not have tried this dangerous venture in the first place, I presume he was not very much aware of the danger in doing such.

[size=14pt]Does anyone have the link to this story?[/size]

I have read a similar story with similar events but not of a Nigerian. No offense to anyone sympathetic here. I would not want to weep over a false story.  I have run a search on google and nothing pops up

Besides there haven't any international flights to the US or have there?

Thanx

, Hmmmmm, Naija pple, Haba, ! 4rm naija to d grave, O måsè o

It's just a funny story to me and I don't believe it either, reason being that the person who posted the news didn't cite a link to the original source of the news so,

Another stowaway, may his soul rest in peace

---------------- oh well,

The Guy don match movie tire and don imagine say, "I CAN DO THAT SHIT" ,, mumu

People do crazy things sometimes. Some are lucky and some are not so lucky. Its a pity we cant ask why he did it. Cos I believed he must have weighed his options and decided this was best.

Actually, this man is not the first. One happened in the late 90s, I believe. The man was believed to be an engineer who worked at the airport.

Nigerian Stowaway to US Dies in Plane

Nigerian Stowaway to US Dies in Plane
AllAfrica.com, Africa


A Nigerian was found dead Tuesday night in the wheel well of a British Airways
plane at New York's John F. Kennedy International Airport, United Stated
authorities have said. Discovery of Nigerian currency notes in the 30 - 35 year
old man and the fact that the plane made a stop over in Nigeria convinced the
US that he is a Nigerian stowaway.

It is the second body found in the wheel well of a plane at the airport in less
than a week, however the body discovered earlier was that of a Jamaican.

The discovery comes at a time of a heightened terror threat alert level in the
nation. On Monday, the Department of Homeland Security asked that foreign air
carriers have armed marshals on some flights in the United States when
requested.

However, it has been the plight of many young Nige-rians to escape to other
countries in an attempt to escape harsh economic realities at home engendered
by high level official corruption.

The body was discovered while the aircraft's first officer was conducting a
routine examination after the plane's arrival from London's Heathrow Airport.

"The aircraft's first officer was conducting an examination of the plane when
he was struck by a strong odour coming from the left wheel well," a law
enforcement official involved in the investigation said.

"The dead stowaway, a black male between the ages of 30 and 35, was wearing
shoes and pants with some Nigerian currency in his pants pocket," the official
said.

"The plane was in Lagos, Nigeria, on Christmas Eve, and we believe the man
climbed into the wheel well while it was in Nigeria," he said.

Jim Peters with the US Federal Aviation Administ-ration said the body was found
hidden in the wheel well about 7 p.m. ET, was removed immediately and taken to
the medical examiner's office.

A British Airways spokes-man confirmed that a body was removed from the wheel
well of one of the airline's jets, but he declined to provide additional
information and would not speculate on any possible breach of security.

Port Authority of New York and New Jersey spokesman Tony Ciavolella said the
Boeing 747 flew to JFK from Heathrow as Flight 177.

The FBI, Port Authority, Queens district attorney's office and Transportation
Security Administration are conducting a joint investigation, Ciavolella said.

On Christmas Day, the body of a man was found at JFK on an American Airlines
flight from Jamaica.
