| [Daily Mail, where America gets it’s news] Two people have been found dead in the landing gear compartment of a JetBlue flight that had landed in Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood Airport in Florida. Is it easier to load people into aircraft wheel wells, or bombs? The bodies onboard the flight that departed from JFK Airport in New York were said to have been discovered on Monday evening during a 'routine' post-flight maintenance check. The bodies were found in the plane's landing gear compartment, the airline told MailOnline. Officials are investigating how the individuals got onto the plane. Broward Sheriff's Office deputies and medical examiners were seen outside the airport as officials began to investigate the deaths. Spokesperson Carey Codd told DailyMail.com that both victims were pronounced deceased at the scene. Codd added that autopsies are set to be performed and that the investigation is ongoing but was unable to offer victim identities or further detail. The plane, operating flight 1801, departed JFK Airport Monday just before 8pm, flight tracking data showed. The aircraft landed in Fort Lauderdale three hours later. It is unclear at exactly what time officials found the bodies in the landing gear compartment. JetBlue told DailyMail.com: 'On Monday evening, January 6, at Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport, two individuals were found in the landing gear compartment of one of our aircraft during the routine post-flight maintenance inspection. 'Tragically, both individuals were deceased. At this time, the identities of the individuals and the circumstances surrounding how they accessed the aircraft remain under investigation. 'This is a heartbreaking situation, and we are committed to working closely with authorities to support their efforts to understand how this occurred.' The deaths have not impacted operations Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood Airport, an airport spokesperson has confirmed. |

| #2 Look at this another way. If they can access the runway and JETS. Then climb up in the wheel gear, all unseen or stopped. What is to keep a terrorist from planting a bomb? Where the hell was the TSA, Airport Security and Police? |
