Stowaway found on plane: Flight from NYC to Tokyo

BLD, Link PLEASE!

A mechanic in Tokyo discovered the body of a man in the plane's landing gear. How does this happen? I can't imagine it's easy to cross a tarmac unseen. And do people really think they'll survive this??? The article says that temperatures reached -38 degrees. Wow...just wow...

Supposedly, the flight first went from Lagos, Nigeria to Atlanta, GA, so they are thinking he perhaps stowed away in Lagos where security is not the best.

Blame the movies. This guy probably saw one too many movies involving planes and/or plane incidents like this one.
But, I'm sure this guy wasn't the smartest peanut in the turd, so it wasn't much of a loss.
