Police Baffled as Man Falls Out of the Sky
A man from Angola was seeking a better life for himself, no matter what it would take. So, in order to try to get to the UK, he sneaked on the base of the wheel of an airplane that was flying to London. Unfortunately for the man, the freezing temperatures thousands of feet in the air were too much for him, and he eventually plunged to his death.
Police don’t know who the man was. They have released a sketch of him in hopes that someone might be able to identify him. They weren’t able to find much of anything else on him other than a sim card and cell phone, which they were not able to trace. He was carrying Angolan currency in his pockets when they found his body.
The man climbed into the compartment above the wheel of the plane but was not prepared for the freezing temperatures. He only had on a thin sweater, jeans and sneakers. He also had some tissue in his ears to deal with the changes in pressure. He fell onto a street in West London and his body was so dismembered that police had to create his sketch on a computer. A small group of people from Angola went to the spot where the man’s body was found and led each other in prayer.
“I felt, what was he running away from? What made him think he could he could? And how will his family ever know? He’s a lost soul now; his father and mother are probably waiting for him to make contact,” said Catherine Lambert, who lives near the place where the man’s body was found.

So sad to think that someone would be that desperate to climb into the wheel well of an airplane to get away. Prayers to the young man and his family.

We living in the states need more compassion towards our family who are struggling in these other countries. Our war policies are creating an atmosphere of desperation and we must all wake up and realize this and save ourselves and the world. Peace at all cost. May God have mercy on the family of this human being no matter what his plight was in this life.

Oh, please. This man is (was) a total IDIOT. I have no sympathy for him. He could’ve come up with a much better plan than that. I am suprised that anyone was able to do a composite sketch.

For greener pasture? For Christ sake, can’t we be contented with what we have. If it’s a must to make it in life, it’s also a must to die shamefully.

The devil tries to lure people to another country for a better life instead of trying to create jobs at home.and we as black people here in this country think we got it made and rather be here in this country and not look back at how we got here.and stop saying God need to have mercy on them when God need to have mercy on us.

Lord have mercy upon us. We never know what a person is going through, due to the fact that he went to such an extreme to escape to what he hoped would be a better place in the world. Then to only lose his life,but this also shows that a person will do whatever it takes to provide, to do better. I know that this was a sad incident however this encourages me to continue to push forward in life because what I might feel to me as the end and instead of drowning in my pain or sorrow I should be getting up dusting myself off and continue to build my future. Even now learn to encourage self and someone else due to the fact there is someone out there with worse problems than me. So my prayers go out to the family. Stay encouraged everyone God hears and answer prayers.

I have no evidence to prove this, but this article is BS. All that is revealed in the article is that a African Male fell to his death from we don’t know where. He had in his possession a cell phone with a Sim card, and Angolan currency. Unless there is an eye witness to him falling at least 500 ft. or some DNA in a aircraft Wheel well, we just don’t know.

A man unknown, a phone untraceable, and no family to identify him; yet his plan is well known… sounds like a coverup story to me. Who is really responsible for this mans death?
