LOS ANGELES, California (AP) -- The body of a male stowaway was found Sunday in the wheel well of a British Airways jet at Los Angeles International Airport, officials said.

A pilot discovered the body of the young man in the front right wheel well of the 747-400 during a routine inspection shortly before it was to return to London, airport spokeswoman Nancy Castles said.

The FBI determined the stowaway likely died in the wheel well, Castles said. Autopsy results won't be available until later this week. Authorities had not identified the victim late Sunday.

The aircraft, British Airways Flight 283, had arrived from London Heathrow Airport at 3:15 p.m. and was scheduled to depart at 5:20 p.m. The airline notified officials of the discovery just before 4:30 p.m., Castles said.

Investigators were trying to determine where the stowaway boarded the plane.

"These aircraft don't go on a fixed route," said Alan Proud, a spokesman for British Airways. "It would have been somewhere else in world before that. That's part of the investigation, to look at where the aircraft had been before."

On January 12, the body of a young African man was discovered in the wheel well of a Delta plane that landed in Atlanta from Dakar, Senegal.

Authorities determined that the man hid in the plane in Senegal and was suffocated to death by the landing gear.

Yikes!!! :o

Yeah... this is unfortunately not an unusual occurrence, which is why I hated that Leo scene as soon as I saw it. You can be frozen and suffocated by the thin atmosphere, or just plain crushed to death by the hydraulics. If you manage to survive most of the journey, it's likely you, or bits of you, will fall out when the wheel well opens hundreds of feet up in the air.

O' course, I'm sure Leo knew what he was doing. :)

LOL... I read that earlier today and the first thing I thought of was Leo. :tanime:

Hey the turtles survived no atmosphere in the Tri-ship by using internal breathing. I'm sure he could survive an airplane ride.

Ehh...whats Leo got to do with this again?

Leo caught a ride...

and if this were based in reality, that would be one dead turtle...

Forgot about that...I only watched that trailer once...I need to watch it again, but I can never find a good quality trailer.

Drat! The Laws of Physics strike again! And I have difficulty finding a high quality trailer too. I mean youtube has plenty of them, but it just doesn't work when I can't see anything.

The trailer can be seen here.

Great, first TMNT stops us from playing with Nunchucks. Now they stop us from stowawaying on planes by the wheel gear -.- Idiots -.- what are they going to stop us from doing next? Eatting pizza? fighting aliens? Mutating our turtles? Exploring sewers? Ducking our heads into our bodies? Damn the Ninja Turtles for giving us so many restrictions to what we can do -.-

And the trailer in that link you gave me doesn't work.

Well, we can still eat pizza, get a job as sewer cleaner, AND nunchucks. But only if we practice. As for the aliens and ducking our heads into our bodies...it can be safe to say that aliens wouldn't bother with us and ducking our heads into our bodies would be physically impossible. Mutating our turtles would also, in the real world, KILL THEM. I am so not cleaning up the dead turtles those careless people put in the sewer.
