A man was found dead Tuesday night in the wheel well of a British Airways plane at New York's John F. Kennedy International Airport, authorities said. It is the second body found in the wheel well of a plane at the airport in less than a week.

Yeah that happens somewhat regularly but occasionally people get away with it. You've got to do it during the winter time when the crew will have the equipment on to heat the gear or whatever so it doesn't get frozen from condensation upon gear-up. I think the thing is that they pass out due to oxygen and are revived during the descent, but it can't be a long flight.
