Air France Drops Two Off in China

Apparent Stowaways Both Found Dead

Air France Flight AF112, from Paris, dropped two unfortunate people, literally, as the airplane was approaching Shanghai, China.

What we're told happened Wednesday morning, was that the two (so-far identified only as "foreigners") had stowed away in the luggage compartment of the 777. 

They somehow worked their way from there, into a wheel well. [While we're not sure that's possible, we'll continue reporting what the official news of China said --ed.]

The Xinhua state news agency says the two hit a house in the town of Laoxiang, in Shanghai's Nanhiu district. The plane landed an hour late, at 11:05AM.

No other passengers were injured; but the airplane is being held on the ground, until some further investigations are made.
