DA: Teen likely fell to death from jet - BostonHerald.com
N.C. teen’s body probably fell from jet - The Boston Globe
it's very sad but pretty alarming also. at the time his body was found, it as assumed to be murder. Milton borders the Mattapan neighborhood of Boston and there was a recent rash of brazen crimes in that area, including a quadruple murder where two of the victims was a 2 year old and his mother and an incident where 3 teens living there robbed and murdered a pizza delivery man (I think there was also a case of two bodies found on lawns in Mattapan around that time). for a while, people just assumed he was a local kid from that area who was murdered across the border in Milton. after investigating, they realized the area where his body was found was directly underneath a flight path. I think for these reasons, the story has stayed out of the national news. it's only just coming to light, but I'm sure it's being suppressed due to holiday travel. you'd think a story like this would be front page news, not Miley Cyrus caught w/ a bong at a party
yes, you have to wonder how a teen got into the wheel well at a major airport. I used to work at O'Hare and you can't even get on the tarmac w/o a certain colored badge. maybe the set up is different at the NC airport, IDK, but there's no way he accessed that wheel well via the airport (too much security). he may have hopped an outer fence. if that's the case, that's just another slam against the security theater that that popped up recently. it should be noted that, according to the article, something like this hasn't happened since 1972
