You need 5-6 hours of oxygen (from the West Coast) and insanely good winter gear to even attempt this. It's extremely dangerous too, since you also could potentially fall out on either end of the journey. Not to mention cold or asphyxiation hazards from rapidly climbing to Everest altitudes.
Just buy a ticket.
The idea that you imagine that these people are trying to save money and just decided to not buy a ticket is both hilarious and sadly possible
I think the point is that, if they can afford the equipment that would need to even possibly survive, then they can afford to just buy a ticket.
I'm guessing if whoever it is could have afforded to buy a ticket, they wouldn't have climbed into the wheel well.
I am morbidly curious what gets someone first in this situation:
Oxygen. At 10,000 feet the oxygen becomes an issue. A plane traveling to Hawaii would typically fly between 30k and 45k feet. If there is any consolation, that person would’ve passed out and died relatively peacefully before they got cold enough. And they were probably dead within 20 minutes of takeoff.
You can avoid being crushed. And if they are sending the cause of death is unknown at the moment, they were probably not bleeding out.
Yes the cold will be very bad but if you prepared well enough. People survive in all kinds of cold weather. But at 30k feet it can get -50f… so, that better be a warm ass jacket or you would indeed freeze solid. Hypothermia and frostbite are almost a guarantee. And since they can’t move around to keep their body temp up, they would need to have some kind of heater…. I’m gonna say this probably wasn’t something they considered.
But he managed to get to Hawaii without paying. He'll probably avoid paying for a funeral too. Not sure about the value for money. Guess it depends on your outlook. He won't have to live under the Trump administration anymore either. I'm starting to see some upsides here. Let's think about this.
