Aviation security under scrutiny after death of stowaway in London

There have been calls for fresh scrutiny of aviation security as efforts continue to identify a man whose frozen body fell into a garden in London from the landing gear of a Kenya Airways plane. Investigations have centred on Nairobi airport, where the man is believed to have concealed himself in the aircraft, but one aviation expert suggested airlines and plane manufacturers could take steps including fitting heat sensors to detect stowaways. “If someone can secrete themselves into the landing gear then it would seem possible that they can put in other things,” said the expert. A plane spotter who had been following the flight on an aircraft tracking app saw the body fall and arrived at the scene in time to give this information to the police. It has been suggested the man who fell from the plane may have been working at the airport in Nairobi. <br/>
