Why do you still hold the airplane wheels and still live miraculously?
As reported, a 16-year-old boy survived miraculously after sneaking into the aircraft compartment to get free travel from California, USA to the Hawaiian Islands. Why is he still unharmed with the five-hour flight time, low temperature conditions and lack of oxygen?
Since 1947, statistics from the Aerospace Medicine Institute of the US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) have shown 105 people smuggled in the aircraft's wheel compartment, of which only 25 survived. Most of these lucky cases are due to short flights and low altitudes. Therefore, the case of a 16-year-old boy who survived a long flight and reached a height of 38,000 feet was a miracle.
If you are in the wheel of the aircraft, people will encounter three main hazards: lack of oxygen, temperature drop too low and fall off the compartment.
Oxygen deficiency can lead to unconsciousness and can stop breathing at any time. Meanwhile, temperatures at 38,000 feet can drop to minus 80 degrees Fahrenheit (minus 26.7 degrees Celsius) - more than enough to freeze steam in the body.
The baby boy was recently fortunate when his body went into a hibernation state , the metabolic process almost stopped working, the heart rate and breathing dropped significantly. In theory, if the body does not work much, it does not need much oxygen. It is a way to help the boy survive at a negative level of 80 degrees F without brain damage.
In addition, a number of heat sources are also provided in the aircraft wheel compartment, according to the latest FAA report. This is also part of making him spend five hours on this terrifying flight.
In some hospitals, doctors sometimes have to freeze their organs to slow tissue damage, especially after the patient experiences a heart attack or stroke. However, the implementation of this work is only the initial practice.
Interestingly, the conditions on the flight from California, USA to the Hawaiian Islands are similar to the conditions in the hospital. It can be said that deliberately sneaking into the aircraft's wheel compartment helps the boy's body reach a new tolerance limit. However, not everyone is as lucky in the world as the above case.
