Today's blog post is dedicated to a teen who died because he hid in the landing gear of a jet as it was taxiing to the runway.
This is what happened.
At that point, he decided that the best point of escape was to get inside the landing gear of a taxiing jet.
That was not a wise decision.
You see, when you get higher that 12,000 feet, that is called the "death zone," or the "d zone." which means that above that elevation, you cannot breathe without the aid of oxygen tanks, special breathing devices, etc.
Plus its also pretty dang cold at 40,000 feet. (about -110 below zero Fahrenheit)
At that point, he probably passed out, and he started to fall.
He landed in a wooded area where his body was found by a retired recluse.
Let us all remember this sad event, and take his memories with our lives.
