  • In 2015 two men stowed away in the landing gear of a British Airways flight from Johannesburg to Heathrow. One of them fell to his death in Richmond - making worldwide headlines - but miraculously his companion survived an 11 hour flight with temperatures reaching -60C.Award winning film-maker, Richard Bentley, sets out to uncover who they are, how they got on the plane and why they decided to undertake such a dangerous and desperate mission. As he starts to look into this incredible story he discovers that it is in fact part of a new, chilling and little known phenomenon of people trying to enter the UK illegally.

      Right, for longer flights they cruise between 30-40,000 feet which is significantly higher than the top of Mt. Everest at 29,000 ft at where climbers must take supplemental oxygen or die. Either the lack of oxygen or the low temperature should have killed him but facing both, its not clear how he survived.

    A more successful try was in the mid 1960s. Kenny Pastori stowed on a Pan Am flight from New York to London. He stowed in a chamber beneath the pilot’s cabin that was pressurized and warm. After landing he waited until the plane was empty and exited up through the cabin floor. He, however failed to clear customs due to a lack of a ticket! He was questioned by Scotland Yard and eventually was sent back to New York.

    That clickbait title is a joke, and is hilarious to those who understand aircraft. 60,000' huh? There isn't a jetliner made today that can fly that high. Even most business jets can't fly higher than 51, 000'. The only aircraft that can fly that high are the U-2, SR-71, WB-57, for example. BUT the old Concord could fly that high. Also the landing gear bays are not pressurized. Not only would you die of oxygen starvation, but you would also freeze to death.

But it's apparently all about clicks and click bait so why not post an outrageous title to the video.

    Something’s not right. Shamillers dad loved her, took care of her, good man, yada yada yada. Shamiller is shown picture of this dad, she cries, first time ever seeing him, never there. How could he be this great father and just took off never to be heard from earning frequent flyer miles and such.

    Last dude is making stuff up or not even the actual person. Dude pretended like he is limping on crutches 🩼 but it seems like he is making this whole story up just because he is getting paid for this interview.
