Airline officials made a shocking discovery Monday evening that could raise more questions regarding aviation safety in America.
As The Daily Mail reported, JetBlue airline officials found two people deceased in the landing compartment of a plane that had landed at Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood Airport in Florida. The aircraft departed JFK Airport before arriving in the Sunshine State.
According to flightaware.com, the aircraft appears to be Flight 1801 from New York’s John F. Kennedy International Airport, which arrived in Fort Lauderdale just moments after 11 p.m.
JetBlue explained to The Daily Mail that the dead individuals on the flight were discovered during a post-flight maintenance check inside the JetBlue plane’s landing gear. Airline officials are investigating how the bodies got there.
“This is a heartbreaking situation, and we are committed to working closely with authorities to support their efforts to understand how this occurred,” an airline spokesperson told the New York Post.
The Daily Mail also reported Broward Sheriff’s Office deputies and medical examiners were seen outside the airport. Spokesperson Carey Codd told DailyMail.com that both victims were pronounced deceased at the scene.
Both of the deceased are male but have not been released yet. Officials are working to determine how the bodies ended up in the landing gear.
Medical examiners are also working to determine a cause of death.
Operations at Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood Airport are continuing without any alterations despite the tragic deaths.
This tragic news also brings to mind a similar incident on New Year’s Eve in Hawaii. As The Gateway Pundit reported, the body of an unidentified dead male was discovered in the wheel well of an airplane at Kahului Airport in Maui that day.
The body still has not been identified even after several days.
That incident followed a technical issue with American Airlines, which delayed nearly 1,000 flights.
