A very unusual incident on a flight to Paris: during a routine check after a plane landed from Algiers in Paris, a man without a passport and without identifying details was discovered in one of the most dangerous places on the plane. The man was discovered during the inspection of the passenger pedestal, which could easily have caused his death during the flight.
Yes, the passenger is the area where the wheels that fold shortly after takeoff are stored. This is an area that during most of the flight is closed, but there is no temperature regulator and as we know, the temperature in the air is very low and can easily reach minus 50 degrees.

In preparation for landing, and still at high altitude, the passenger opens and the wheels exit it, exposing the passenger to another life threat of falling from a height, but he survived it too. The passenger was found to have severe hypothermia and according to the report, his condition was serious and his life was in danger.
According to a report in the British Guardian, he was a man in his twenties who hid on an Algerian Air Algiers plane that landed at Paris Orly Airport. Another fact that is important to note is that at altitudes reached by passenger aircraft, oxygen levels are very low, which is not noticeable in the cabin due to oxygen regulation systems, but these systems do not exist in the passenger pedestal where the passenger hid.
Beyond the fact that this is a delusional and unusual event, it is also a very dangerous event. The passenger had access to the plane's wheels, which are necessary for its safe landing. Fortunately, no wheel sabotage was carried out and the plane managed to land safely in Paris.
