Now, I'm just going to go out on a limb and say this stowaway was from the previous flight which was coming from San Paulo, Brazil (Although, I hear Chicagostan is getting pretty bad nowadays). Anyways, if from Brazil, what a damning indictment on both the flight crew and ground crew in ORD for not catching this in Chicago. If an actual walk-around was performed, there is no way a dead body would be left unnoticed in the wheel well. Cold ears in Chicago are not a valid reason for skipping a walk-around, haha. Can anyone confirm yet if the stowaway was from Chicago or Brazil?
what about the mx Etops check??
You think ground crew, pilots and mx missed this??
