Regardless of the criminality of this, I hope Jet Blue will do the right thing and get their bodies home to their (likely) poor families for a proper burial.
I also wonder if it was just people in New York thinking it was some sort of lifehack to get a free flight. Tiktok seems to have caused some major brain damage for a lot of people.
If you're a extremely poor, desperate person with little hope and you're told that if you make it to the US you will be given free food, a nice free hotel room, a free smart phone, etc. you will take very dangerous actions. What's not reported are the number of people that are killed or die along the way through jungles and desert. And the number of people, particularly children that are sold into sexual slavery upon reaching the US.
Well said. Compassion is never political; though a lack of it (or worse) often can be.
First, may G-d rest their souls and I prayers for their families.
From a security perspective, what if they had some type of home made bomb?
That could have gone a very different way for the 150+ souls on the aircraft if they had...
Nobody on the ground noticed?
I would be very surprised if they're Jamaican residents. I would be less surprised if they came from JFK.
if they were in the landing gear area,of an A320, it seems hard to believe they wouldn't seen. Even on normal turnaround, you'd have to almost go out of your way not to see something. I'm wondering they weren't in the avionics bay, and this is a case of lazy/misinterpreted reported?
While still early, this is easily the most illogical thing I’ve read this year.
Assuming that if they came from Jamaica, I am curious to know how it took their bodies that long to be discovered.
What war torn country and awful situation do I need to feel bad for again? The plane was flying domestic and went to Jamaica. Please tell me exactly how much compassion I’m supposed to have for idiots doing what they do best.
You mean ORD_IS_ was right when he called New York a hell-hole that everyone would do anything to escape??
That wouldn't be possible, as there is no compartment door between the avionics bay and the landing gear wheel well. The wheel well is completely isolated and can only be accessed from the outside (when the landing gear is extended).
I'm not so sure. I'll give JFK the benefit of the doubt and say their airfield is much more difficult to infiltrate than KIN's airfield.
You're assuming they had proper identification on them. So far, nobody knows who they are or where they came from, so getting them home to their families is going to be a tall order.
The bodies probably froze solid during the KIN-JFK sector and then stayed frozen while on the ground in SLC and JFK.
It wasn't until they thawed out in FLL that they probably "fell out" of where they were hidden.
