Not going to get too much into it, since I know everyone here can read, but for those of you who don't know, a 15/16 year old boy jumped the airport fence in San Jose, California, climbed into the plane compartment just under the plane's wheels, and landed later that day in Hawaii. No one knows how he survived, being that your chances of being crushed by the airplane's wheels once they retracted and freezing to death in the below zero temperatures is almost inevitable. Authorities say that he may suffer brain damage because of the exposure to the elements. Apparently, he did this to escape from his family, which from what I gathered, may be abusive. Now there is an argument going on about airport security and what punishment he will/should face.

Personally, I would be more concerned about what about this boy's home life made him risk all of that, just to get away. Needless to say, there will be some investigations into that. He is a minor, and the punishment for stowaways are jail time for up to 4 years. To be a stowaway with criminal intent is punishable for up to 20 years in prison. I predict a slap on the wrist for him, and perhaps some probation.
 
Right now, airport authorities are scrambling around trying to explain how this happened. Needless to say, someone will be getting a pink slip here pretty soon. 4951

@nikkiole: Good choice in location.
Being a beach bum in Hawaii is my Plan B.  Free health care, showers on the beach, easy access to food, lots of very wealthy and guilt ridden ex-hippies in Maui.  and it's beautiful. 4951

If he has brain damage and an abusive family he will probably end up a ward of the state. 4951

Considering what he did, and the risks, I'm wondering if he had brain damage before takeoff.... 4951

 have you ever been at an airport at night, its dark,, who said he was close to any building, he may have climbed on as the plan was parked waiting to take off,, or he climbed in there when people are workingthere is enough room to hide in those tire wells, if you are small enough. 4951

I am surprised he survived especially if the plane descended to a certain altitude he would have passed out and no telling what would have happened. 4951
