    article says a 77% mortality rate for people flying like that. i wonder if he knew the risks when he snuck on. I can’t imagine what -50°C feels like.

      Little chilly I think.

      At least in the wheel well there’s not much wind… or oxygen for that matter.

      Actually, if you don’t die of suffocation it may not be as cold as you would think due to the lower air density to transfer heat from you.

      I still wouldn’t risk it.
