It would be " a decade ," according to Agence France-Presse. He was found early this Wednesday, January 8, at Roissy airport, in the landing gear of an Air France Boeing 777 from Abidjan, Côte d'Ivoire.
The French airline confirms the death of a “ stowaway ” without specifying his age, and deplores a “ human drama ”. The lifeless body of a child was found Wednesday morning in the well of the landing gear of an Air France plane, which arrived at Roissy-Charles de Gaulle, near Paris, from Abidjan. The aircraft, a Boeing 777, had taken off the day before.
" Beyond the human tragedy, this indicates a major security breach at Abidjan airport ," said an Ivorian security source in the columns of Agence France-Presse. This person wonders how a child of ten years old could have access to an airplane, even if he benefited from complicity.
In France, an investigation is already open. It is led by the gendarmerie of air transport at Charles de Gaulle airport.
In recent years, several people, including adolescents from African countries, have been found dead from the cold, or tragically crushed in the landing gear holds. It should be remembered that temperatures drop to -50 ° C between 9,000 and 10,000 meters above sea level. The landing gear housings are neither heated nor pressurized.
