Man Dies After Attempted Stowaway on Siem Reap Plane

Cambodia news in English! Here you'll find all the breaking news from Cambodia translated into English for our international readership and expat community to read and comment on. The majority of our news stories are gathered from the local Khmer newspapers, but we also bring you newsworthy media from Cambodia before you read them anywhere else. Because of the huge population of the capital city, most articles are from Phnom Penh, but Siem Reap, Sihanoukville, and Kampot often make the headlines as well. We report on all arrests and deaths of foreigners in Cambodia, and the details often come from the Cambodian police or local Khmer journalists. As an ASEAN news outlet, we also publish regional news and events from our neighboring countries. We also share local Khmer news stories that you won't find in English anywhere else. If you're looking for a certain article, you may use our site's search feature to find it quickly.

Just as well that you didn’t mention formerly proper countries like

France. Nantes... :facepalm:
Uk. London city.... :facepalm: :facepalm:

There’s plenty of places world wide that fail the test. I’m sure we don’t need to look down our noses at them

I’m not so sure that that’s entirely the case with the A320, but that being a bit geeky...

No, the gear doors are closed when the gear is up or down - when the gear up or down is initiated they open and then close.

Christ, I have trouble locking and unlocking airplane bathrooms sometimes, or finding the weird 'flush' button, and you guys know in which order the landing gear operates.

I have had traumatized crew come up front, describing the moment they opened the toilet door to find all manner of nasty views where a passenger managed to fail to lock the door...

quite recently there was a uk news article about an african chap who had used this method to hitch a lift into the uk from an african airport.

regardless of how landing gears work, he made the flight and withstood the severe cold and survived.

im normally not a huge immigrant fan, but thats the sort of immigrant we want.. give him a passport and a job.

Whatever about the technicalities, I think we can all agree that stowing away in a space in some landing gear is fucking nuts, or just extremely desperate. Besides the hazard of getting crushed to death by machinery I believe it gets rather cold and hard to breathe at 40,000 feet.
Silence, exile, and cunning.

[/quote correct, and yet people have made it. One came in to Miami on a DC 8 from Bogota in the mid nineties. Our flights within Angola were very short. And our beat up airplanes had a hard time getting up to 30000 feet.
