Boy, 16, clings to airplane

-

A TEEN miraculous­ly survived after clinging to the landing gear of a plane flying from the UK to Holland.

The 16-year-old, thought to be from Kenya, sneaked on the Turkish Airlines cargo flight at London’s Stansted Airport.

A spokesman for Maastricht Airport, Holland, said: “He had tremendous luck to get through this.”

The boy is in hospital being treated for hypothermi­a.

A number of other people who have tried the same thing have either frozen to death at high altitude or fallen into the sea.
