Stowaway Man Falls to His Death From British Airways Plane as it Approaches Heathrow Airport, Second Survives

According to Daily Mail Uk, A suspected stowaway was found dead on the roof of a London office block after plunging from a jumbo jet as it approached Heathrow Airport.
The man's body was discovered on top of the offices of NotOnTheHighStreet.com, which is on a busy road in the south-west of the capital.

Another stowaway survived the 8,000-mile flight from South Africa by holding on to the undercarriage of a British Airways Boeing 747 before being taken to hospital where he is said to be in a 'serious' condition.

It is believed the two men sneaked on to flight BA0054 before it set off from Johannesburg airport on Wednesday evening.

They are then thought to have hidden in the wheel recess during the airliner's 11-hour five-minute overnight flight to London.

It is understood one of the men fell out as the undercarriage came down on the plane's approach to Heathrow, while the other - who would have spent the night in temperatures as low as -50C - clung on.

In August 2012, the body of a man was found in the landing gear of another Boeing 747 after it landed on a flight from Cape Town, South Africa.

The following month, the body of a man from Mozambique fell from a British Airways plane flying into Heathrow from Luanda, Angola.

In July 2013, a stowaway was found frozen to death in the undercarriage of another BA jet following a flight from Istanbul to Heathrow
