That’s not good. It really is a “blue” day for Jet Blue.
Place placard inside all wheel wells in multiple languages.
“Stowing away ,or, hiding within this location will kill you.” 
What else are you going to do, add it to your pre-flight check list?
Of course, if this does get implemented and someone does slip by
and kills themselves making the attempt, the pilot becomes responsible.
Don’t you love it…

This is a worrisome security risk. How soon before somebody stuffs a bomb instead of a body in the wheel well?

I am guessing that an enquiry will find they were there since Jamaica, possibly tied on to something to stop falling. Poor people. What a terrible and stupid way to go.

Actually there’s supposed be a walk around done on each sector - at least the airline where I flew 320s…

Maybe ICAO should have a chat with Jamaica?! I’m not surprised (loose security), Jamaica borders on being the next Haiti.

Great idea! Placard every landing gear bay on every aircraft in the world in every language because two idiots killed themselves in this manner. As usual, another wonderful overreacting “The sky is falling” solution from Tommy. A reminder: when you are walking through a cow pasture, don’t worry about chickenshit.

Another pair of Darwin Award winners. Don’t we have enough warning signs already? How about a sign on every commercial bus - “WARNING - DO NOT WALK IN FRONT OF THIS BUS IF IT IS MOVING!”

You can’t see inside a A320 series wheelwell without first opening the gear doors! That’s not normally done until an overnight stay.

There actually have been a fair number of survivors of stratospheric wheel-well class flights, including some pretty long ones…South Africa to Amsterdam, California to Maui, Algeria to Paris, etc. Mostly though, they end up like the frozen body that fell into a London garden back in 2019 when a flight from Kenya lowered its gear on final to Heathrow.
