Reports have now come in about a 20-year-old Romanian that hid in the wheel well of a jet in Vienna and survived a 90-minute flight to London. British authorities were told that the man simply crawled under the fence at the Vienna airport’s perimeter fence and climbed into the undercarriage of a private Boeing 747 that was parked near a construction site.

Schwechat police chief, Leo Lauber, said that the jet belonged to a high ranking sheik from the United Arab Emirates and took off from the Australian capital Sunday night without any passengers on board. After landing at London’s Heathrow Airport, the police chief said the man fell out of the far compartment and was apprehended by police.

The man had climbed into the plane because he wanted to find work in another country. However, the man was in shock when he found out that the plane he choose to get into was heading to the UK. Since he already worked and lived in a country that was part of the European Union, he had the right to travel and work in the UK. Thus, he went through this very cold flight for nothing.

The stowaway was able to survive the plane ride despite the fact that ride was freezing. Some sources do say that he survived, because the plane was flying lower than normal due to bad weather. Any higher, and it would have been too cold for the man to survive. Other airport stowaways who have tried to do what this man did, did not make it to their destination alive.
