A New York woman found a man's leg and part of his spine in her backyard yesterday. Apparently, the man stowed away in the wheel well of a South Africa Airways flight from either Johannesburg or Dakar, Senegal headed to Kennedy International Airport. From the New York Times:
At some point during the plane's descent, some of the man's remains fell onto the detached garage of Pamela Hearne's home in South Floral Park.
"I thought it was a really sick joke," said Hearne, a special education teacher. But when she realized that human remains were in her yard, she called the police. The impact made a hole the size of a watermelon in her garage roof, she said, but no one was hurt.
