Runaway teen survives 5-hour flight as stowaway in plane's wheel well

A teenage boy stowed away on a five-hour flight from California to Hawaii in the wheel well of a passenger jet, and miraculously survived subzero temperatures and near-total oxygen deprivation.

The 15-year-old stowaway, whose name hasn't been released, remained hospitalised on April 22, two days after his death-defying jaunt over the Pacific Ocean, said Kayla Rosenfeld of Hawaii’s Department of Human Services, adding that the teen was “resting comfortably”.
