Stowaway Tragedy On Iberia Jet From Havana to Madrid
Two young Cubans hid in the wheel wells of an Iberia Airlines DC8 departing Havana. One apparently fell to his death as the plane left, the other, Armando Socarras Ramirez aged 22, lay unconscious at Madrid hospital after a seven and a half hour ride at 29000 feet with no breathing aids. He reported a companion hid behind the right wheel. The pilot said the right wheel did not retract at takeoff but worked on a second try. Hospital officials did not ID the other stowaway, a detail the case adds to past incidents of youths attempting wheel-well stows from Latin America with lethal outcomes.
