Body parts fall from SA aeroplane

Parts of a man's body have fallen onto a New York home from a South African Airways aeroplane as it approached John F Kennedy airport.  

A leg, with a shoe, and part of the torso fell into a woman's garden, making "a very loud bang".  

Police believe the man stowed onto the flight when it was in Senegal.  

More human remains were found in the aircraft's wheel-well, which is not heated or pressurised, so chances of surviving a long flight are negligible.  

'Charred'  

"The remains of a human body was discovered upon landing in New York. We presume this person got on board in Dakar," said SAA's Onkgopotse Tabane.  

The body parts fell onto Pam Hearne's garage and then landed on the grass.  

"It was very blackened, as if it had been charred," she said, New York's Daily News newspaper reports.  

Federal Aviation Administration spokesman Jim Peters told AP news agency that the plane would have started lowering its landing gear over Ms Hearne's home in Long Island, some eight kilometres from the airport.  

It appears the body was crushed by the wheel mechanism as it opened its gears.  

"I am very glad I live where I do, so I don't have to run for my life like this man probably was doing," Ms Hearne said, AP reports.  

SAA say the return flight to Dakar and Johannesburg has been delayed in order to repair the minor damage to the aircraft.

What was that old Weathergirls song?

Ouch, that's harsh. But, on a more serious note, this isn't the first time this has happened. I can remember a few from the West Indies who suffered the same fate and they were found at JFK, but these folks unfortunately froze to death as opposed to being mangled.

On a more serious note ......No matter how much "BAD MOUTHING" this country has taken from the World and "some" "citizens" of this Freedom Loving country for it's policies and actions, you have yet to find masses of US Citizens sneeking across the border into other countries, trying to sneek rides aboard airliners LEAVING this Country, or SWIMMING/BOATING to other lands (all at great personal risk to themselves and the families left behind)......

WE sure aren't a perfect Nation by any means but how many thousands have DIED trying to get here from the POVERTY and POLITICAL STRIFE they must endure daily to survive.

PS ...I KNOW that all who seek a better life here aren't all GOOD people but the odds are that they are no worse than you or I.
