The Royal Dutch Military Police found a man in the nose wheel of a cargo plane arriving at Schiphol Airport from South Africa last Sunday. 😱
Authorities did not reveal the man’s identity to the public yet, reports the NOS.
Against all odds
The man survived for approximately 11 hours on the flight, with one stop in Nairobi, Kenya. 🛩 It is rare for stowaways to survive long flights, particularly due to low oxygen levels at high altitudes and the cold.
Upon discovery, the man’s body temperature was immediately raised, and by the time the ambulance arrived, he was answering basic questions.
He went to the hospital for further check-ups but was “doing well” by the time the ambulance left. 🚑
Once the man recovers and is cleared from the hospital, the Asylum Seekers Centre will process and determine his status as a potential asylum seeker.
