So yesterday Gawker had a story about a U.S. flagged cargo plane that had to make an unscheduled fuel stop in Zimbabwe on a route from Munich to South Africa.
!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!
When the plane was inspected officials in Zimbabwe noticed blood coming out of a hatch near the front of the plane. When it was inspected, a dead body was found. Also of note the plane was carrying the equivalent of nearly $1 billion in South African Rands.
Sounds pretty strange already, doesn’t it. They body was a suspected to be a stow away that got caught in the front landing gear and crushed. The cash turns out to be an official shipment to the South African Government from a facility in Munich that prints it for SA. Mystery, right?
Maybe not.
South African reports are now suggesting the pilots and crew may have been aware of the body and were trying to ditch it somehow. Remember the unscheduled fuel stop? Why would they not have calculated their fuel requirements properly? Reports are they were flying at low levels which consumes fuel more rapidly. The body was not actually found in the landing gear area, but in an equipment hatch. There was nothing in that area that would mangle a body. It seems the body wasn’t mangled, but decomposed and the blood was actually a mixture of various bodily fluids.
The pilots told ground officials the blood smear on the plane was just a bird strike - nothing to see here. However, an official could see blood still dripping from the plane and insisted on inspecting it. Before the pilot opened the hatch, he donned a pair of latex gloves, seemingly aware there was a biohazard about to present itself.

Stay tuned. This could get more interesting.

An odd story, but I would wear latex gloves if I thought it was a bird or anything, blood is gross of any kind.

If everything they’re saying is true, then they knew 100% the body was there. This will get very, very interesting.

Especially since it seems to be an african(is that offense to say?), which makes me wonder if they had been in south africa or similar before the flight to munich and back, or how the hell that person ends up there?

Having worked on the DC-10/MD-11 aircraft, I can tell you that the stowaway could not have gotten inside the EE bay from the outside, without any assistance. A ladder or beltloader (like the one pictured) is required to reach it, and I believe it can not be closed from the inside. So someone would have had to have helped them up there, and closed the door. The only alternative is that they entered the EE bay from the inside of the aircraft. There is an access hatch in the cockpit floor that can be locked once inside. But then, they would have somehow had to have had access to the interior of the aircraft via the flightdeck, not an easy thing to do. Also if the body was already decomposing, it must have been there for 24-48 hours. It doesn’t all add up really.

Already decomposing matches them having picked him up in africa, flown to Munich for the bank notes, some taxi, loading, waiting and so on would leave you in that time frame roughly? Maybe they were smuggling him via said hatch and forgot to let him back out?
