Crikey - it hardly comes up as unusual ('though terminal in more ways than one...): try dropping these into your favourite search engine and see how frequently such incidents occur.

I was trying to find reference to the Indonesian/Timorese(?) youth who survived a flight in a DC3 wheel well, landing in Darwin. Frozen one side, burnt on the other and lucky to make it. I seem to recall he was given Australian citizenship? One of you out there'll be able to find it no doubt.
