Emmanuel Ugochukwu, a 15-year-old-boy who managed to put himself between the front wheels of a Boeing 747 Med-View aircraft from Lagos to London has come back alive.

A spokesperson of the Med-View Airline, Chief Obuke Oyibotha, said officers are working together with the Police and other security agencies at the Murtala Mohammad International Airport (MMIA), Lagos, to investigate the incident.

According to reports the stowaway got on the plane on Saturday and many are shocked as to how he survived the over six-hour flight in the wheel compartment of an aircraft cruising at an altitude of 32,000 feet above sea level.






Sam Adurogboye, spokesperson of the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority, NCAA, confirmed the investigation on Wednesday.

Mr. Adurogboye said the authorities were disturbed by the incident because of its implications for air safety, saying how the teenager survived at an altitude of 32,000 feet (9,754 metre) was a mystery,

Hypoxia or oxygen deficiency normally sets in from about 10,000 feet and would quickly render a person unconscious.

Temperatures at that altitude plunge to -48 degrees Celsius (-55 degrees Fahrenheit), causing hypothermia.

There have however been previous examples of stowaways surviving in the wheel compartment of passenger jets.
