Really Secure?
We don't know about you, but stories like this make us feel completely safe and secure while flying to vacation and/or retirement destinations:
- A body was found in the wheel well of a United Airlines flight that departed from Chicago on Christmas Eve, the company said. Flight 202 departed from Chicago's O'Hare airport on Tuesday morning and landed at Maui's Kahului airport.
After landing, United Airlines said a body was found in the wheel well of one of the main landing gears on a United aircraft. "United is working with law enforcement authorities on the investigation," the company said in a statement to ABC.
Screening long before you get to the gates. No one without a ticket permitted in the concourses. Cameras everywhere. Reasonably well-lit wide open flat spaces for miles around. Secured doors and hundreds of workers all supposedly keeping an eye on things to prevent a terror attack or an airfield incursion.
And that's not even mentioning the ground crew and flight crew physically inspecting the aircraft prior to takeoff....we see them wandering around underneath the plane with flashlights, checking out cargo doors, exterior structures and wheel wells.
And this still happens every year or so. Any airport people want to update the readers?

Where’s the 050 tact rangers??
Somebody who always has solid info said the body originated in Brazil, and was missed on the inspection here before the plane took off for Hawaii. Not sure if that really makes me feel better.
I bet the person was from the previous flight which arrived from from Sao Paulo, Brazil that morning. If so, the flight crew will have some explaining to do.
Well you should have seen all the FAA then FBI and Air Marshall’s at Ohare on Christmas? All wanting to watch video of the United plane as it sat waiting to be loaded? They watched the pilot do his pre flight walk around and all the ground crew doing the loading of baggage. Trying to find when the DOA climbed into the wheel well of the aircraft? They will be watching video for some time to find how? With all of the alleged security at any airport? Or at Ohare? How did one person crawl into a plane and fly from Chicago to Hawaii? Simple answer is, there is a big hole in the security at Ohare? My question is why are planes still taking off at Ohare? Since the hole has not been identified? Was this a test to see how to gain access to aircraft?
I really miss seeing that Marilyn lady who would always slip past O’Hare security. She was a crafty expert.
Someone didnt check well enough.
Would have to be a badged employee. Ramp person etc. As you stated lotta of people and cameras watching, it would be extremely difficult for a passenger to walk up to an aircraft’s wheel well.
Where is the Dept of Aviation (SECURITY GUARDS) who are supposed to be patrolling the secure side of Ohare airport???????
Asshole got what he deserved in the end on his way to Hawaii!
19-Paul as far as I'm concerned!
somewhere they are missing their dei mechanic who checks the tire air pressure
Perhaps a migrant. They don't need papers to wander the US.
The plane was in Chicago on a 4 hour layover after arriving from Brazil?
Have you seen the people fueling the planes and loading the luggage. DEI hires, some smoke weed while loading your bags. None of the airlines would hire my son because he doesn’t fit the profile for their diversity. In fact a few years back I went to an interview with AA. It was a group conversation. The only people who were sent home were 2’s. I noticed when i was walking out and confirmed with someone else I knew that went for an interview. My guess, Someone looking for a cheap vacation. Probably crushed by the gear
Probably a DEI employee sneaking a nap @ work.
I think that plane began its day in Brazil. Nevertheless one wonders why the body was not discovered during preflight inspection
EEEEEz Ok
Probably in there from Brazil, wasnt warm enough here to thaw the fellow out enough. That said the right seat pilot has some splainin to do!
Must have been a popsicle when found.
Imagine if the stowaway had been an adherent to the “religion of peace” having bad intent.
Makes me wonder: Do they ALL die when they try this, or is it a common means of free travel and we only hear about the exceptional cases when someone dies.
He must have been frozen solid like Frankie Carbone from goodfellas.
Had to be a guy that climbed into a wheel well in Brazil. They just didn’t inspect the wheel well here and probably missed him. Wheel well is open when the plane is on the ground people don’t survive a flight like that. -30 below zero and no often above what 15,000 feet and planes fly at 30,000 and above
who found waldo ????
I'm hearing the stowaway left behind a written manifesto stating he was no longer satisfied in sanctuary third world Chicago. He was tired of being robbed, shot at and receiving reduced government benefits. He sought out utopia with a former Chicago millionaire/billionaire natives Barrack Obama and Oprah Winfrey who fled this democrat ruined paradise. At no cost migrant flights to Hawaii are not offered to this blue state. He sought out a safe passage to Hawaii and had no other means of compassion to enter into this prohibited democrat-forever state. Desperate, alone and afraid, the transitory stowaway had no taxpayer subsidized option but to climb onto this airliner much like refugees fleeing Afghanistan during the Harris/Biden failed pullout. Sad, truly sad.
A dry run to test the system and looks like it might have worked well
I think the best way to solve this case is to assign the "best and most experienced lawman" to ever be assigned to unit 050, to investigate this international case. This lawman tells everyone of his days in 011 where was kicking in doors and executing search warrants, pursuing armed suspects, and the occassional dime bag dop arrest before lunch. This lawman is none other than the legendary Sgt B.K.. the best ever, just ask him.
Froze or died from lack of oxygen.
I’ve heard stories about this Sgt. Absolute legend. He’s known around the nations largest airports.
He was sleeping with the fish sticks.
A do nothing position if I ever saw one. Ass kissers only need apply.
This guy was the recipient of bad info regarding wheel well stow away instructions. Knowledge is power!
She's crazy but very crafty. Gotta give her credit.
First thing I thought.
If only it were her, I'd throw a party!
Agreed!
At least you're not using the exclamation mark for all of your punctuation....
They check the wheel wells of all planes leaving O'Hare AND man those checkpoints? Man, that's a rough job.
There are CPD assigned to O'Hare? I thought it was covered by 016 and K-9
I'm assuming they are hanging out with the 050 uniform guys. I've never seen so many officers respond to a job just to try to figure out how to blow it off.
They all die when they try this. Jets fly well above the death zone and it’s multiple tens of degrees below zero the entire time as well. Dude was probably frozen stiff and stuck to the inside top of the wheel well.
The answer is simple! The Democrats will just mandate that all wheel wells on aircraft be heated and supplied with snacks for their future voters sneaking in and out of the country.
Chuck Darwin says:
"Me, in for the win!"
Is Mullane still in charge at Ohare? If so he needs to explain some things!
Saw a story this morning about another stowaway.
This time on a Delta bird in Newark.
Yet you’ll never have the stones to tell him to his face. Just another entitled coward who’s probably been hidden at the airport on management with 7 years on the job. Which is why BK checks your punk ass whenever it’s necessary.
They got embarrassed too many times and now shes safely locked away
Looks like a few have survived.

SGT B.K.! I heard the Capt. Carmine (Dennis Franz) character from Die Hard II was based on him. Absolute legend.
Negative Sgt BK. The author does not have 7 years OTJ, and is not management. The author is retired. So you can't check out my punk ass, but am employed at ORD in another capacity. So look around and see if you can find me. lol
