Damn, I've taken Ambien and still tossed and turned awake. Maybe wheel well is the way to go on a long flight, arrive refreshed.

a) How did he not fall out during landing when the landing gear was engaged?
b) This shite is from Con Air. Dave Chappelle didn't survive this situation.

Still proves my point that he didn't survive. I believe his name was Pinball.

TSA has no skin in this game. Airport perimeter security is the responsibility of local airport authority/law enforcement.

We need an explanation. This is not possible unless he had an oxygen tank and ski clothes. Or he somehow crept into a pressurized area.

I'd like to hear how he did it. I Googled it and he was exposed to temps around -30 F for over 5 hours. And that's on top of the lack of oxygen.

Great so now we'll get a cavity search for just driving by the airport.

They said that flight cruised at 38,000 feet and reached -80F for much of the trip. The air that high is so thin a human can't remain awake (which he didn't) and life expectancy is measured in MINUTES. He was in there for 5.5 hours. Being that cold without winter clothes would also slow your heart rate down to a deadly level. He would be past hypothermia without the proper clothes.
The chances of someone surviving this are astronomical. So astronomical that I think there is something we're not hearing. Like had this planned out with safety precautions or something.
Then you have to wonder how he didn't fall out when landing gear was deployed. He was unconscious until an HOUR after the landing so its not like he was holding on to anything.
DAMNIT GIVE ME ANSWERS! This kid may be an X-Man.

Well, at least, he chose to escape somewhere nice.
On a serious note, that's crazy how he made it alive. Holy shite.

He didn't know the plane's destination. He chose randomly and got lucky.
This whole story is outrageous.

He would absolutely be dead (the 25,000 feet is a different incident). The wheel well must be pressurized because nobody is going to survive at 38,000 feet for hours.
Reference site:
Oxygen levels at altitude
The highest I can get it to work for is 28,000 ft. Beyond that it just says "out of range". Even this low the chart shows zero oxygen in lungs, arteries, or veins.

Oh, thought I saw earlier in this thread where the flight only got up to 25,000 feet. If it got up to 38,000... Hell, I just don't know.
