Airplane Stowaway Falls From Sky Into London Garden.

[Cattledog]

Residents of London's Clapham area got a shock Sunday afternoon when they discovered a body in the garden of a neighborhood home and called police.

That body is believed to have fallen from the sky.

Metropolitan Police said they suspect the person was hiding in the landing gear of a Kenya Airways flight and fell as the plane was approaching Heathrow Airport.

The body, which police said is believed to be male, has not been identified.

One resident described a close call to the BBC, saying he heard a loud sound and that when he looked outside he saw "blood all over the walls of the garden." He said the body had landed next to a neighbor who was sunning himself in his garden. The resident said he found his neighbor "very shaken."

1. This is horrible.

2. He was probably dead when he left the plane.

Froze, asphyxiated or crushed.

3. I'll never understand why people do this

I don't care if he really wanted to emigrate or if he was a fugitive from the law or whatever... IF YOU TRY SOMETHING LIKE THIS, YOU WILL *NOT* SURVIVE! The problem is for every 50 people who attempt this, 1-2 luck out and *barely* survive and those are the ones who make the news. Man... He would have had a better chance swimming to England.

FWIW I read somewhere that there was and open bag of food, so he was alive at least for the first part...
