Body found in wheel well of United plane after landing in Hawaii

A body was found in the landing gear compartment, also known as the wheel well, of a United Airlines plane after it landed in Hawaii on Christmas Eve, the company said.

Flight 202 departed from Chicago’s O’Hare airport on Tuesday morning and landed at Maui’s Kahului airport in the afternoon.

A United Airlines said it remained unclear how or when the person got into the landing gear, which it said was only accessible from the outside of the Boeing 787-10 aircraft.
