Mysterious death: body discovered in the wheel arch of a plane!

A dramatic incident at Kahului Airport in Maui, Hawaii, shocked the aviation community: a body was discovered in the undercarriage of a United Airlines plane on Christmas Eve. The macabre discovery occurred as the Boeing 787-10, which took off from Chicago on Tuesday, landed in Kahului. United Airlines confirmed the discovery and explained that the body was found in the wheel arch of one of the main landing gear, as “krone.at” reported.

The investigation into how the person was able to get into the wheel arch is still ongoing. According to United Airlines, access to the wheel well was only possible from the outside, making the situation all the more mysterious. Maui police have already begun an investigation without affecting flight operations at the airport. “We are working closely with law enforcement,” the airline said in a statement.
