'Child stowaway' found dead in plane's undercarriage in Paris

Heartbreaking. Imagine being the worker who found a beautiful child's lifeless body. I get upset just from creating a mental image of the scene.

Several years ago on a walk around inspection at IAD we found the body of a young man in the Wheel well of an Airbus A340. It was a very disturbing sight for the ground staff and it gives you some insight of how desperate these people are to seek freedom.

There can be no doubt that the accompanying adult must've fallen out when the wheel well doors opened, and that body may too eventually be found if it fell on land.

Jesus take this precious child into heaven.

His name was Laurent Barthélémy Ani Guibahi, 14 years old. His school runs on two shifts, he was due in the afternoon. He left home with his school bag, never showed up.

Anyone seen Fifth Element.. “parasites in the landing gear” ( I am in no way calling this boy a parasite.. just a reference to the scene) can there not be a sensor installed to detect stowaways in the bay? Camera? Motion and heat? I know there’s a lot of motion and heat in there but there has to be something that can detect this - as airport security is not able to stop it.

A question that I would have is how did he get there... It would be nearly impossible for him to get there by himself! That wheel well is quite high off the ground.

A good example where fencing keeps children safe.

My condolence to the family thoughts and prayers God bless

That is just a sad story to hear and I bet it was hard to see when the workers and ground crew found it.

Where was the parent or guardian??

The problem Is how he got through security cecks
