"Doesn't even remember the flight," FBI spokesman Tom Simon in Honolulu told The Associated Press on Sunday night. "It's amazing he survived that." The boy was questioned by the FBI after being discovered on the tarmac at the Maui airport Sunday morning with no identification, Simon said. "Kid's lucky to be alive," Simon said. Simon said security footage from the San Jose airport verified that the boy from Santa Clara, Calif., hopped a fence to get to Hawaiian Airlines Flight 45 on Sunday morning. The child had run away from his family after an argument, Simon said. Simon said when the Boeing 767 landed in Maui, the boy hopped down from the wheel well and started wandering around the airport grounds. "He was unconscious for the lion's share of the flight," Simon said. The flight lasted about 5½ hours. Hawaiian Airlines spokeswoman Alison Croyle said airline personnel noticed the boy on the ramp after the flight arrived and immediately notified airport security. "Our primary concern now is for the well-being of the boy, who is exceptionally lucky to have survived," Croyle said. A photo taken by a Maui News photographer shows the boy sitting upright on a stretcher as authorities get ready to load him into an ambulance. Simon said the boy was medically screened and found to be unharmed. The tale has its detractors, including John Nance, an aviation expert for ABC-TV. "I don't believe the kid was in the wheel well," Nance said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would agree that if a kid could wander over and get into a plane from the ground, a bomber could do the same.... If security cameras picked up the kid, then someone was not watching..... and that should cost someone their job...... maybe a whole bunch of someones...

If he didn't hitch a ride in the wheel well, where was he on the plane? there are small crawl spaces to get inside the cabin if a person knows where they are and how to open the latches.. You'd have to be rather small to do that...... way past my fitting... while that is possible....... I'm betting God just breathed a little for him... wrapped him in his arms for a little heat.... it wasn't his time to go.

"after being discovered on the tarmac at the Maui airport " I don't think anyone saw the lad get in the wheel well or get out of it. You would think there would be security cameras showing everything all the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They won't allow scissors, bottles of soft drink or anything else just in case that little old granny is intending to blow the plane up, but anybody can just jump over the fence and climb into a wheel well. If he was even younger and smaller he could have had explosives strapped to him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
