According to the New York Times and other U.S. media, two bodies were found in the storage space of Flight 1801 of JetBlue, a low-cost airline under inspection at Fort Lauderdale Airport in Florida on the 7th (local time). The plane was an Airbus A320 that departed from Kennedy International Airport in New York and arrived in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, at around 11:10 p.m. the night before.
JetBlue Airways said the bodies were found during maintenance after the flight.
The bodies are all male and have yet to be identified.
Police and airlines said they do not know how long they have been in the landing gear storage space, and investigations are underway on how they approached the aircraft and their identity.
According to the aircraft tracking website 'FlightAware', the plane reportedly traveled through Kingston, Jamaica and Salt Lake City, Utah, before flying from New York to Florida. This has led to speculation that the dead may be Jamaican.
On the other hand, people who try to smuggle themselves into the country often hide themselves in the space.
Last month, a body was found in the landing gear storage space of United Airlines Flight 'UA202', which left Chicago and arrived in Hawaii.
Experts say that most cases of smuggling into the space fail due to a lack of oxygen due to high altitudes and subzero temperatures. The space is also so small that it is much smaller than a car trunk. Therefore, when the landing gear is folded, the body may be pressed to death."
According to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), more than 77% of those who attempted this method have died.
