On Christmas Eve, a United Airlines plane made its way from the bustling city of Chicago to the beautiful island of Maui. However, the festive spirit was soon dampened by a shocking discovery made by the authorities. Upon landing at Maui's Kahului Airport, the police were called in to investigate after a body was found in the wheel well of the aircraft.
The unidentified body was discovered in the wheel well of the main landing gear of United Flight 202. This particular flight had departed from Chicago and arrived in Maui, bringing holiday travelers to their desired destination. It was a tragic turn of events that left many questions unanswered.
The authorities were left puzzled as to how the person ended up in the wheel well, as it was only accessible from outside the aircraft. The Maui Police Department immediately launched an investigation into the matter and assured the public that they were actively looking into the discovery of the deceased individual.
The discovery was made on the tarmac, and the scene was quite gruesome. Police and airport officials responded quickly to the situation, trying to gather any information that would shed light on this unfortunate incident. However, the Hawaii Department of Transportation stated that they had no further details beyond what United had already confirmed.
According to sources, the deceased individual was a man. State officials also reassured the public that the incident did not impact airport operations at Kahului Airport. Flight 202 had departed from Chicago's O'Hare International Airport and arrived in Maui at 2:12 pm, according to FlightAware records.
Sadly, this is not the first time such an incident has occurred. It is reported that stowaways often use the wheel well as a means of hiding and catching an illegal ride. However, this method is extremely dangerous, with a shocking 77% of individuals losing their lives while attempting it, as stated by the Federal Aviation Administration. These individuals can face crushing injuries as the landing gear retracts and also suffer from frostbite, hypothermia, and low oxygen levels as the plane climbs to high altitudes, as reported by CNN.
The investigation into this tragic incident is ongoing, and authorities are urging the public to refrain from attempting such dangerous stunts. The safety of all passengers and airline staff should always be the top priority, and stowing away in the wheel well is not only illegal but also incredibly risky. Our thoughts go out to the family and friends of the deceased individual during this difficult time.
