On approach into Boston, the pilots lowered the landing gear and the boy's frozen body fell from 3000 feet and landed right on the front lawn of a home in Milton, MA.

    Not only is there no heat to survive at that altitude, not only is there no oxygen to survive that altitude, even if there was oxygen there isn't enough air pressure to put the oxygen into your lungs at that altitude.
    But the wheelwell is a place where the pilot is supposed to check when he does his walk around so once again we see pilots not doing their due diligence. And this doesn't even begin to mention an unauthorized person giving themselves access to the apron of an airport.

    With the technology at hand, why is the Airline Industry(especially the FAA making it mandatory)not putting cameras in wheel wells and any other part of the plane where a person could hide? Yes it's understandable that every extra ounce of weight adds up to the total weight of the planes. But we're talking about High - Tech cameras that are small and weight very little compared to someone who stowaways on a plane(Average U.S. female weight is 170.8lbs./Average U.S. male weight is 199.8lbs.) The safety concerns outway the extra camera weight significantly, example being an airplane wheel well stowaway who is a suicide - bomber 💥, I think this question is quite obviously a very ansible one. What say the FAA and Airline Industry if not already in place(and if it is why hasn't these wheel well stowaways been detected) But if not been implemented, WHY NOT!?!
