true, planes do fly close to my house but usually during take off, on landing i always see them go through long beach or through garden city when they are on approach.

-72 isn't instant death, but it's damn cold and wouldn't take too long without proper clothing.

Oh well, there's worse ways to go that freezing to death... like maybe losing your leg and then freezing to death.

I wonder who will be responsible for doing the... legwork... on this investigation?

The stowaway must have thought he got a ... leg up... on the airliner?

The woman who discovered the leg must have been... stumped... as to where it came from?

Looks like airport security had their legs pulled out from under them

Usually international flights cost an arm and a leg. This guy got the discount rate.

A read a story somewhere about a stowaway that clung to a pipe of some sort on the inside of the landing gear bay to survive.
