Stuck the landing, apparently.
A suspected stowaway who is believed to have fallen from the landing gear of a flight into Heathrow Airport has been found dead in a London garden.
The body - believed to be that of a man - was found in Offerton Road, Clapham just before 15:40 BST on Sunday.
Police said it was thought the individual fell from a Kenya Airways flight from Nairobi.
A neighbour said the body fell a metre away from a resident who had been sunbathing in the garden.
The man, who did not want to be named, said he heard a "whomp" so he looked out of an upstairs window and saw the body and "blood all over the walls of the garden".
"So I went outside, and it was just then the neighbour came out and he was very shaken," he said.
The neighbour, who asked not to be named, said a plane spotter, who had been following the flight on an plane tracking app from Clapham Common, had seen the body fall.
The plane spotter had arrived almost at the same time as the police and told them the body had fallen from a Kenyan Airways flight.
"If it had been two seconds later, he would have landed on the common where there were hundreds of people - my kids were in the garden 15 minutes before [he fell]", the neighbour added.
"I spoke to Heathrow. They said this happens once every five years."
Describing the victim, he said: "One of the reasons his body was so intact was because his body was an ice block."

If he wasn’t crushed by the gear coming up, the next thing he had to look forward to was being asphyxiated by lack of oxygen. If he somehow survived that, the air is around -60F at 40,000 ft.. never mind the wind chill at 550 mph!

Kind of puts our daily annoyances in perspective. You know there was a guy in the cabin drinking a diet coke muttering "this is fucking bullshit" at the reclined seat back in front of him, at the same time frozen chunks of Kenyan are oozing out of the wheel well...

Was that Spirit Airlines ultra economy seating?
If you want cabin pressure, oxygen, heat, or a seatbelt then there's an upcharge.

What’s with no one wanting to be named?
Suspicious.

What’s with no one wanting to be named? Suspicious. I like this neighbor :"I spoke to Heathrow. They said this happens once every five years." Fuckin balls, right to the source. "Allo, Heathrow?" "Yes, yes, to whom am I speaking?" "I live in Clapham Garden.." "Pardon?" "The African fellow business...." "Oh yes, of course, of course, unfortunate stuff, that" "When can we expect the next one.....I've planted Begonia's you see" "Ah, Begonia's, very ambitious for this climate, wouldnt you say?" "I've a bit of experience in this..." "Yes, yes, of course of course...I'd say 5 years til the next one, dont hold me to it though. Very unpredictable airport operations in those parts, buggers running around the tarmac all day and night, no telling where they'll end up". "Oh my...well thank you for your attention". "My pleasure, good day." That sort of thing with Benny Hill music. |

Mum is English for mom and it would have devolved into a planting your mom type jibber-jabber. So I went with begonia's. common |
