Two stowaways hid in a plane’s landing gear — and fell to their death during takeoff

On Monday, three objects tumbled from a plane leaving Ecuador for New York, falling nearly 1,000 feet shortly after takeoff and landing with a thud on the runway.

Yes Matt, they were the missing links. Jokes aside, they had hopes of improving their lives. I don't know about their citizenship status. We have to have compassion for the families who will never see them again. Instead of being a smart xxx, I have prayers for the survivors in these families.
