 A 16-year-old boy who hid in the wheel well of a plane managed to survive despite enduring freezing temperatures 38,000 feet above ground. The teenager had snuck on to the jet in San Jose, California, but quickly lost consciousness when the flight took off. He was found an hour after the plane had landed in Maui, Hawaii, yesterday, after regaining consciousness and walking on to the tarmac. He had been exposed to temperatures as low as minus 80 degrees Fahrenheit (62 degrees Celsius below zero). ‘It’s just an apparent miracle … There was no appearance of any special gear of any sort,’ said FBI special agent Tom Simon.  The boy, who did not suffer any injuries, told authorities he had boarded the plane after running away from home. He has since been turned over to local child protection officials. ‘Our primary concern now is for the well-being of the boy, who is exceptionally lucky to have survived,’ Hawaiian Airlines said in a statement.
