Pretty bizarre story, and freakish to have caught that pic. 1970 may have been the first instance of stowaways in the landing gear compartment of a jet, but it wasn't the last. I recall a 1980s (?) story where the stowaway actually survived takeoff, but passed out at altitude due to oxygen deprivation. Dude was still passed out when the plane lowered landing gear to land, and fell out. Body crashed into/through something when it "landed", and it took the police some time to figure it all out. I'll search for the article...

If the fall didn't kill him, the many venomous critters on land would have, if he hit the water, then sharks probably picked him apart.

It's not the fall that kills you. Rather it's the sudden stop at the end.

If he hit water, the impact would have at least knocked knocked a few spinal bones loose.

I was expecting some shocking punch line. "Miraculously, while the boy died on impact and paid the price for his stupidity, a photographer was testing his camera that day and happened to get a photo just as he fell and won an award for it."
