Human corpse found in Saudi airplane wheel well

– A corpse has been found in the wheels of an aircraft that recently returned from Nigeria

– The plane belonged to a Saudi Arabian carrier known as Flynas

– It is believed that the body was that of an unfortunate stoaway

A Saudi airliner which recently returned to Saudi Arabia from Nigeria was undergoing a routine check at Jeddah’s King Abdulaziz International Airport when something strange was found. A dead human body.

The plane operated by the Saudi Arabian carrier known as Flynas had just returned to the kingdom after transporting a load of pilgrims back to Nigeria after the 2016 Hajj

The Saudi airline workers conducting the routine check found the body in the wheel well of the plane on Wednesday, September 21.

According to the Saudi Gazzette: “At around ‪12 p.m.‬, an unidentified corpse of a dark skinned person was found in the back wheel storage.”

The general belief is that the corpse belonged to a stoaway who tried to enter the country by sneaking into the aircraft wheel wells. This is a common practice which many engage in despite the very real risk of death.

According to reports the relevant authorities have been contacted regarding the discovery. Meanwhile, it is quite sad to note that since as far back as 2009, Nigeria has lost at least 10 people to the yearly Hajj pilgrimage.

The pilgrimage which is undertaking by Muslims has been continually beset by mishaps, to the extent that one Muslim cleric warned all attending to write their wills and prepare to die if they are attending in 2016.
