I sneaked in and approached a big plane . It was already dark and no one saw me. I didn’t know what to do next. Eventually, I decided to climb up the landing gear into the wing. When I was in, I sat down there on a tire and fell asleep,” the boy said.
The boy woke up when the plane was already flying. It is not clear how technicians inspected the jetliner before the takeoff, but they found nothing suspicious.
“I got so scared and fainted. I don’t remember what was happening afterwards. They told me later that I had spent about two hours at the height of 10,000 meters at very low temperatures. I came to my senses again when the plane had already landed. I got down on the runway and collapsed. I could not control my legs and it was very cold,” the boy said.
The plane landed in Moscow’s Vnukovo airport. Employees saw the teenager falling down on the ground from the hull of the plane. The boy was hospitalized in half-conscience state. When at the hospital, the “passenger” was constantly saying that his hands were burning. Andrey’s swollen hands did not make it an easy task for the doctors to take off his jacket.
