Man Fell From Sky: African Man From Angola Was In Stowaway, Body Found In Suburban British Neighborhood

An African man that fell from a plane in London has not been identified, but Police believe that he was from Angola. The mysterious body was found in a residential Suburban neighborhood in in September.

The body of a crumbled body of a man was found on Portman Avenue, near a convenience store and other commercial shops. Authorities believe that the man may have been dead when the jets landing gear lowered getting ready for Heathrow Airport. The body did not have any identification papers on him but police believe that the body may have fell from a plane that just landed from a Angola.

Resident Catherine Lambert said, "You could see him, his body was contorted," she said. "It was a beautiful blue day, really sunny, but we had to keep the children inside. I didn't want the children to see, and to have to explain to them and put fear into them every time a plane goes over."

Another theory is that the unidentified man snuck onto the plane because airport  security in African countries aren't as strict. Many attempts and have failed numerous times, Aviation safety specialist Chris Yates said,"They so often end in fatality because more often than not stowaways climb into the wheel base or cargo hold, and those areas are not necessarily pressurized," he said. "When you start moving beyond 10,000 feet, oxygen starvation becomes a reality. As you climb up to altitude, the issue becomes cold as well, the temperature drops to minus 40 or minus 50 degrees centigrade, so survival rates drop."

According to the Associated Press, Jay Sivapalan said, "People say the same thing happened a few years ago a few blocks away," he added, "We are near Heathrow and when they lower the landing gear, the body falls out."

Police say that a stowaway incident similar to this one happened 10-years- ago.
