Body Parts Come Crashing Down On Suburban NYC

Apparent Stowaway Didn't Make It All The Way

It rained body parts in Long Island, NY, Tuesday, as the corpse of an apparent stowaway aboard a South African Airways flight from Dakar to JFK partially disintegrated when the crew lowered the plane's landing gear.

Some of the body parts crashed through the roof of a home in Floral Park.

Flight 203, an Airbus A340-600, landed at JFK on time at 0700 local. It was taxiing from Runway 22R when airport workers noticed part of a body hanging from the wheel well.

There were no apparent injuries in Floral Park, above which the Airbus lowered its gear, allowing parts of the body to fall to the ground.

The FAA is investigating. There's no word yet on the identification of the corpse.
