View Quote https://simpleflying.com/stowaway-survives-19000-feet-flight/ A stowaway has had a lucky escape, according to reports originating out of Maastricht. A 16-year-old Kenyan boy survived a flight, clinging to the landing gear, and is currently being treated in hospital. The flight is thought to be a Turkish Airlines cargo flight operated by an Airbus A330 from London’s Stansted Airport, though the aircraft had flown from Nairobi via Istanbul the day before. I am shocked he made it. At around 15k most people pass out, then the temps would have been pretty chilly. His size probably helped, just basing this off nationality of the stowaway. He would be lucky to wake up I would think if he passed out before the gear came down. If he managed to stay away for the entire flight he has hell of lungs (will admit many who live at high altitudes and mountain climb can go up but never over 26k, very rare though). |

Humm I will find the article on it but looking you seem to be more accurate than my misguided search.... ![]() But along with another poster found this: The average human body needs from 1 to 3 days to become acclimatized to a change in altitude. People who do not spend enough time acclimatizing to a new altitude before progressing further have the highest risk of developing altitude sickness. This is where I might have gotten part of my info: The Death Zone Used to describe high danger altitude on the Mount Everest ascent, the "Death Zone" begins at about 8,000 meters or 26,246 feet 3. At this elevation, unassisted from compressed air or oxygen, severe altitude sickness sets in, debilitating the human body and eventually resulting in death 1. The low density of air at this altitude makes acclimation impossible. Cold temperatures and weather conditions at this altitude also affect the high mortality rate of climbers. I guess I figured death zone actually meant it for everyone. Okay article where I got my data: We pass out when the pressure drops below 57 percent of atmospheric pressure — equivalent to that at an altitude of 15,000 feet (4,572 meters). Climbers can push higher because they gradually acclimate their bodies to the drop in oxygen, but no one survives long without an oxygen tank above 26,000 feet (7925 m). That's about 5 miles (8 kilometers) up. The edge of the known universe lies some 46 billion light-years farther afield. Proves to take all internet stuff with a grain of salt |

People who do not spend enough time acclimatizing to a new altitude before progressing further have the highest risk of developing altitude sickness. This is where I might have gotten part of my info: The Death Zone Used to describe high danger altitude on the Mount Everest ascent, the "Death Zone" begins at about 8,000 meters or 26,246 feet 3. At this elevation, unassisted from compressed air or oxygen, severe altitude sickness sets in, debilitating the human body and eventually resulting in death 1. The low density of air at this altitude makes acclimation impossible. Cold temperatures and weather conditions at this altitude also affect the high mortality rate of climbers. I guess I figured death zone actually meant it for everyone. View Quote Dude, angels on a pinhead, not germane to the big picture. |
