I'd be interested in what political party the dead belong to.

I can easily imagine the deceased denying scientific facts a priori, such lack of oxygen and Antarctic temperatures at high altitudes.

I remember years ago an Indian man was trying to bring his wife to the States for free by putting her in a suitcase. He found out the cargo space wasn't pressurized or heated so...

anyhooooo... he was so distraught at finding this out... he left the airport to a hotel... where he made himself dead... leaving his wife in the suitcase at luggage claim.

I wonder how long it takes after you're airborne?... curious... I mean is it like being dumped on the roadside in -100F before the oxygen gets too thin? People do the strangest things when they are freezing to death.

Seemed like a good idea at the time.

Um, is it just me, or does it seem to others that the maintenance crews should be looking into the wheel wells on a more frequent basis? Let's hope the guy or gal who found these stiffs was given the rest of the day off. The mental imagery will probably remain much longer...
