Yeah, that place out 'there'. Anything not really Cambodia related should go here.

Frozen Man Falls From Plane and lands in a London Garden

Post by Doc67 »

A stowaway from Kenya attempted to enter the UK via the undercarriage space of a Kenyan Airlines flight from Nairobi to London. He obviously did not know that it goes down to -60 degrees at high altitude and there is insufficient oxygen above 10,000 feet. He was probably dead before he left Kenyan airspace.

His frozen body landed a few feet from a sunbather in a south London garden after the aircraft lowered it's gear for a landing at Heathrow Airport.

Here's the news story, no pictures so far...

Space tends to be at a premium in there, too. So he may not be feeling to chipper once he’s thawed out. Not to mention the headache from the drop.

Seems like every time I try to get a little sun, some random dude falls from an airplane and plotzes next to me.

If he'd fallen out of a plane in Cambodia the competent authorities would have cited "wind" as cause of death, and Simone would be rubbing one out within ten minutes of him hitting the ground.

This happens periodically. Also, quite often the stowaway is crushed by the landing gear when it retracts.

Apparently the frozen guy exploded into small pieces on impact with the ground, just like if you freeze something in dry ice and then hit it with a hammer....

At least he didn't have to go through customs and immigration.
