Shortly before 3am on June 4, 1993, a mechanic at Miami airport looked in the wheel well of a DC-8 cargo jet from Bogotá. He saw the body of a teenager, curled in a ball, wearing only a t-shirt and shorts and frozen like an "ice cube."
The first paramedic pronounced him dead. The second found a weak pulse.
Somehow he had just survived 5 hours at 35,000 feet without heat or air pressure.
This should have killed him three different ways.
A🧵& blog post on how he survived.
