I couldn't help but laugh my ass off at the absurdity of this.

My first thought after reading the headline was that maybe she was about to pick up a cricket paddle and hole up in the local pub to start killing some zombies. :lol:

Note to self: don't stow away in the wheel well of an airplane.

Uh, no. They tend to retract the gear before they climb to 30,000 feet.

While that is true... they don't tend to pressurize the landing gear compartments like the rest of the plane. Unless you mean that he was killed when the gear was first retracted, keeping all the parts inside until the landing approach.

I would have named it, 'Half Harry' and buried it in my most hated neighbors garden. Then when the opportunity is right, I'd phone the police anonymously and rat on my cunt neighbor.

It won't stick, but at least I could take his picture while he was getting arrested in front of his kids. :icon14:

Uh, assumption on exactly where they guy was when the gear retracted.
No. If he was in a position to be killed by the gear retracting, it would have happened immediately. He'd survive for a little while, otherwise.
