The man, 23, was discovered on an Iberia plane after a Wednesday flight from Havana to the Spanish capital.
According to AFP, Spanish media identified the man as Adonis GB, who had injuries to his head and chest, and possibly died from being crushed.
In a similar incident, late last year a North Carolina teen also stowed away in the landing gear of a plane and was found dead near Boston's Logan Airport. It is believed he died from a fall. Amazingly, not long before that a 17-year-old Russian survived a 50-minute flight hiding in a wheel-well.
As of that time, Federal Aviation Administration records revealed that 63 flights have carried 72 wheel-well stowaways since 1996. Only 12 survived.

Would it be asking too much for T.S.A to focus on this obvious unlawful entry into restricted areas and maybe put less attention on fondling children and their disgusting dirty diaper fetish ? I realize this happened in Cuba but statistics tell me that this is just way too easy if its happening at our own airports .

And Americans have to keep supporting them 100% while they steal our jobs, breed like rabbits abd overcrowd our schols and prisons.
