Stowaway tells how he survived 11-hour flight to UK in new film
“I was not far from the engine. You could feel it outside when it was rotating,” he told the documentary-makers. He sustained burn marks after wrapping his arms through cabling, which ultimately prevented him from falling out. “You could even see the houses down there when the plane was flying.”
The next thing he can remember is waking up on the runway in London, with a shattered leg.
“When the plane landed, I fell out and remember thinking that Carlito must still be in it,” he said. “But then later they showed me the passport and said: do you know this guy? I said yeah. They told me that he didn’t make it, and I was shocked.”
