Not the smartest place to stow away on an airplane. Most planes cruise at altitudes in excess of 30,000 feet. At that altitude, the air temperature is at least 40 degrees below zero Fahrenheit.

Hope the investigation reveals how security was breached to get into the compartment in the first place, who they were, and if they were alive or dead when they entered it.

-40 is the same temperature in C and F, super cold! Someone will sue the airlines for not heating the landing gear hold.

Not enough oxygen to breathe and temps like -50F are what await anyone who climbs into a wheel well. Suicide.

If a stowaway can breach security and climb into the landing gear a terrorist or anyone with ill intent could do the same. How is this happening!

The lethal danger of doing this is (or should be) well known by now. Maybe the airlines should do more getting the word out the about the danger but some people will never learn.

Just within the past month the story of a person traveling in the landing gear of a plane several years ago was shown because I had my tv on as I was reading. I vaguely remembered when that happened and watched most of it. They stressed several times about how lucky this guy was to have lived through this. They talked about how cold it had been and about how much trouble he was in. If I am remembering correctly they talked about terrorist threats and how difficult it would be to do this in these times. My first thought was this was a couple of young kids who watched this also and said to each other "Do you think we could see o this?!?".

What #7 said, the "stowaway" could be a planted bomb. Pilots do a walk around preflight check. You would think a stowaway could be seen.

And these are the ones who didn't fall out and disappear when the gear was lowered miles from the airport. And how dangerous is it that with the possibility of slapping an explosive device onto the wheelwell?

A Florida grand jury investigation ordered by Republican Governor Ron DeSantis reveals a "pattern of deceptive and obfuscatory behavior" by pharmaceutical companies and federal agencies during the COVID-19 pandemic. The findings of Florida's 22nd Statewide Grand Jury and their forward-looking recommendations highlight concerns about vaccine safety data, the effectiveness of lockdown measures, and captured regulatory oversight. Citing the grand jury's findings, DeSantis noted in a social media post on Tuesday: "these sponsors have taken in billions of taxpayer dollars for creating and selling their vaccines; they cannot be sued if something goes wrong with them;

President-elect Donald Trump filed an emergency petition to the United States Supreme Court Wednesday morning in an effort to block his sentencing in New York v. Trump. Judge Juan Merchan set Trump's sentencing in New York v. Trump for Jan. 10 after a jury found the now-president-elect guilty of falsifying business records in the first degree, stemming from Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg's investigation. Trump pleaded not guilty to all charges and has appealed the ruling but was rejected last week by Merchan.

House lawmakers passed legislation Tuesday afternoon requiring federal agents to detain illegal immigrants suspected of committing non-violent crimes, the chamber’s first action of the 119th Congress. The House voted 264-159 to pass the Laken Riley Act, with 48 Democrats joining 216 Republicans in voting for the legislation, which is named after the Georgia nursing student brutally murdered last year by an illegal immigrant. “I’m thankful that the House passed the Laken Riley Act in an overwhelmingly bipartisan manner. No family should have to go through what Laken’s has endured,” said Representative Mike Collins (R., Ga.), who first introduced the legislation last year and represents the area where Riley was murdered.

The Washington Post is planning on eliminating its "gender columnist" position after the writer penned a piece that was ultimately scrapped by the paper's editors, Fox News Digital has learned. Monica Hesse, who made headlines in 2018 by becoming The Post's first-ever "gender columnist," will not hold that title much longer after writing a column about gender was "killed" by her editors, two sources tell Fox News Digital. It is unclear what Hesse had written in the column and what the editors objected to. Hesse, currently a columnist for the paper's Style section, is expected to be reassigned

The fast-food giant is the first company to adjust its DEI policies in 2025. Last year, a slew of companies made similar changes, including Walmart, Ford Motor Co., John Deere, Lowe's and Toyota, after activist pressure. In an open letter to its franchisees, employees and suppliers, McDonald's touted its achievements in its commitment to inclusion, one of its "core values," and the company also said it wanted to "highlight a

WASHINGTON — The federal judge who oversaw the classified documents case against President-elect Donald Trump issued an order Tuesday temporarily blocking the release of special counsel Jack Smith’s report on his investigation. The injunction lasts until three days after the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals rules on a pending request to block the release of the report over a separate matter involving Trump co-defendants Walt Nauta and Carlos De Oliveira. Lawyers for Nauta and De Oliveira filed a motion Monday night asking U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon to block the report, citing the judge’s previous ruling that Smith’s appointment was unconstitutional.

The Biden administration's Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) has finalized a new rule preventing credit reporting agencies from using unpaid medical debt to determine a consumer's credit score. This is welcome news to deadbeats. Not so much for the rest of us. Medical debt, like all other debt, is money borrowed from someone else. When people don't pay back what they borrowed, the cost of borrowing goes up for the rest of us. "People who get sick shouldn't have their financial future upended," CFPB Director Rohit Chopra said in a press release.

Today’s statement from Mark Zuckerberg, the CEO of Meta (which owns Facebook and Instagram, among other things), is a remarkable cultural artifact. If Zuckerberg means even half of what he says in it, we may well be seeing a genuine shift in how Silicon Valley regards free speech, dissent, and pluralism. As NBC notes: Zuckerberg said that Meta will end its fact-checking program with trusted partners and replace it with a community-driven system similar to X’s Community Notes. But it is how this is to be done that is so interesting.

A nonsensical, contradictory portrait of the Tesla Cybertruck bomber is emerging just days after the Army veteran supposedly killed himself before detonating his vehicle at the Trump Hotel in Las Vegas on New Year’s Day. While the left has tried to frame 37-year-old Matthew Livelsberger as a MAGA fanatic, new evidence reveals he was neither a Republican nor a conservative. Rather, Livelsberger was a registered “No Labels” voter, Fox News reported. According to its website, the “No Labels” group claims to be a centrist, nonpartisan organization. “We may be Democrats, Republicans, or independents, but we won’t mindlessly follow anyone,” the group wrote.

Among President Trump’s promises during the 2024 campaign was to “medically discharge” transgender men and women from the U.S. military. But would Americans support such a move? A plurality of voters say no, revealing a deep political split over the issue, the latest I&I/TIPP Poll shows. While no specific proposal has yet actually been put forward, the national online I&I/TIPP Poll asked this question: “News reports suggest President-elect Trump is considering an executive order to discharge all transgender service members and ban future enlistments, potentially affecting 15,000 active personnel. Do you support or oppose this plan?”

Joe Biden will be remembered as one of the worst presidents in American history, according to the latest Gallup poll. While Biden and the White House seek to rewrite his legacy as someone who improved the lives of Americans and people worldwide, the American public clearly feels differently. A majority of Americans—54 percent—believe Joe Biden will be remembered as a “below average” (37 percent) or “poor” (17 percent) president. In contrast, only 19 percent think he will be seen as “outstanding” (6 percent) or “above average” (13 percent). Meanwhile, 26 percent say he will be regarded as “average.”

Bubonic plague is a severe infectious and potentially fatal disease caused by the bacterium Yersinia pestis. It is the most common form of plague and is primarily spread through the bite of infected fleas that typically live on rodents. The disease, also known infamously as the Black Death, ravaged Europe from 1347 to 1351, causing between 75 million and 200 million deaths (which included about 50% of the total population in Europe at the time). Those horrifying numbers still grip the imagination. Now, in an intriguing development, COVID-19 vaccine scientists have developed a new shot that would protect against Yersinia pestis infections.

Los Angeles-area firefighters claim they are running out of water as they battle the growing wildfires in the area. "The hydrants are down," one firefighter said over the radio, according to the Los Angeles Times. "Water supply just dropped," reported another one. Former LA mayoral hopeful and billionaire developer Rick Caruso backed the claims made by the first responders as his staff reported to him from the Palisades Village in the Westside neighborhood. "There's no water in the fire hydrants," Caruso told the outlet. "The firefighters are there and there's nothing they can do — we've got neighborhoods burning, homes burning, and businesses burning. ... It should never happen."
