Human body parts fell from the sky in the busy Saudi city of Jeddah on Sunday, 5th January 2014. Police believe they could be the remains of someone trapped in an aircraft’s undercarriage bay- and they suspect the possibility of it being a man.
The remains landed in the Mushrefa neighbourhood of Jeddah in Saudi Arabia on Sunday, and police suspect they belong to someone trapped in a plane's wheel bay.
Gruesome pictures of the body parts were leaked on social media sites and in Arabian media, according to Metro.
“Police received a telephone call at 2:30 am from a witness reporting the fall of human remains at an intersection in Mushrefa neighbourhood” in the Red Sea city, spokesman Nawaf bin Naser al-Bouq said in a statement.Initial indications were that the remains “fell from a plane’s landing gear,” said Bouq, adding that investigations were ongoing.
In a desperate attempt to cross borders, especially at poorly monitored airlines, it is fairly common for people to try and hitch a ride in Saudi planes' wheels bays- most reportedly freeze to death when they get to a certain height.
Police are however saying that the incident is not connected to that of the Saudi Arabian plane arriving from Mashhad, carrying 315 people that had to make an emergency landing in Medina this weekend. 29 people were reportedly injured.
