A 13-year-old boy has reached India by hiding in the landing gear of a plane. After this incident on Sunday, the child was interrogated and sent back to Afghanistan.

Flight RQ-4401 of Afghanistan Kam Airlines took off from Kabul's Hamid Karzai Airport at 8:46 am Indian time. Landed at Terminal 3 of Indira Gandhi International Airport in Delhi at 10:20 am. 

After landing, the airline staff saw a boy walking near the flight. After immediately informing the security officer, the airport security officer detained him and handed him over to the police. 

According to Indian media, the boy stated that he was sitting on the flight landing gear because of his curiosity about how the ground looks from the plane. The child, whose name and details have not been disclosed, is from the city of Kunduz in Afghanistan.

The Indira Gandhi Airport officials said that the boy who entered the Kabul airport escaped from the security officers of the airport and hid in the last landing gear of the plane. The plane was declared safe after a thorough check . On Sunday, the child was sent back to Afghanistan on the same flight.

A small red speaker was found in the landing gear compartment during a security check . Who brought the child with him . 

security agency is surprised

According to security experts, traveling by hiding near the wheel of the plane is considered very dangerous . At an altitude of 30,000 feet, the temperature reaches minus 40 to 60 degrees Celsius. And oxygen is also very low . As a result, the possibility of fainting or even death increases in a few moments .

However, the security agencies of the airport are also surprised about how the child reached India alive in this incident. Because the landing compartment is at the very bottom of the plane . It consists of safety devices, brake systems and hydraulic pipes. According to a study, the survival rate of trying to hide in this way is very low . Only 20 percent of those who travel in hiding around the world survive.

After the Taliban seized power in Afghanistan on August 15, 2021, many people infiltrated the international airport to leave the country. The Afghan citizen was trying to leave the country in any way. 

The US sent a military plane to recall its citizens and troops. At that time, hundreds of Afghan citizens boarded American military planes to go to America. Some civilians were also hanging on the ship. At the same time, many people lost their lives by falling from the ship in the sky.
