The tragic discovery of two bodies in the wheel well of a JetBlue plane has left authorities at Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport in shock. The incident took place on Monday night, when the aircraft landed in South Florida and staff conducted a routine maintenance check. As they inspected the landing gear, they were horrified to find the bodies of two individuals.
According to the Broward County Sheriff's Office, who responded to the scene, both individuals were pronounced dead by paramedics. The airline, JetBlue, released a statement expressing their condolences and promising to cooperate with the investigation. The Broward County Sheriff's Office is currently looking into the matter, trying to understand how this tragic incident occurred.
At this time, not much is known about the identities of the individuals or how they managed to access the aircraft. The National Transportation Safety Board has stated that there was no involvement of the flight crew or operation of the airplane, and they will not be investigating the incident. The sheriff's office crime scene and homicide units are leading the investigation.
The flight, number 1801, had departed from New York's John F Kennedy International Airport and was scheduled to arrive in Fort Lauderdale at 11:10 pm on Monday. Flight tracker data showed that it landed at the scheduled time, but the discovery of the bodies was made shortly after. This tragic event comes just weeks after a similar incident on United Airlines Flight 202, where a body was found in the wheel well after the plane landed in Maui.
Unfortunately, this is not the first time people have attempted to hitch a ride on airplanes without purchasing a ticket. In November, a woman managed to sneak onto a flight from JFK to Paris without a boarding pass, but was discovered by staff on board. She was detained upon landing at Charles de Gaulle Airport. These incidents serve as a reminder of the dangers of attempting to access aircraft without proper authorization.
