After a teenage stowaway flew from California to Hawaii hidden in the wheel well of an airplane this week, investigators immediately began to wonder how he had survived the freezing temperatures and low-oxygen conditions of the unpressurized compartment.
The latest theory is that he fell into a state of hibernation – an entirely plausible scenario, if you ask me.
