jljonesYears ago that happened here. NO one saw the guy get on the wing. He fell as the plane was starting to ascend and hit one of the fences.
He wasn't identified for almost 10 years.

If you're goin' through hell, keep on going.
Don't slow down. If you're scared don't show it.
You might get out before the devil even knows you're there.

The pilot radioed the tarmac to report the incident, according to the airline.

RAMIUSThese people are obviously intelligent. We should fly them here in great numbers for the benefit to our society.

gearhoundsFrom the article-
“He then jumped onto a wing of the plane and tried to access the cabin”.
He had about as much chance getting on board as surviving riding on the outside of the plane. Zero.

Frequently, but I rarely receive a response. I might have missed a hand-off with a frequency change.
