Jet Blue Employee Found Sleeping in Cargo Hold

Jet Blue officials are investigating after an employee was found sleeping inside the cargo bin of a Jet Blue plane that landed at Boston’s Logan International Airport this weekend.

From WCVB:

Jet Blue said it is investigating how one of its employees wound up in the cargo bin for a New York to Boston flight.

The man was discovered by baggage at Logan International Airport after the plane landed there on Saturday. He reportedly told police that he became accidentally locked inside the aircraft’s pressurized luggage compartment after falling asleep.

The 21-year-old man — whose name was not released — said he called JetBlue officials when he realized he was no longer on the ground.

From WHDH:

The plane was coming from New York’s John F. Kennedy Airport and landed in Boston Saturday around 11 a.m.

When baggage handlers opened the cargo door, they found a man inside the belly of the plane with the luggage.

Officials rushed to the scene and determined that the man was a Jet Blue crewmember who said that he was accidentally locked inside the cargo bin when he had fallen asleep.

He was sent back home to New York on a plane after authorities learned that he was not dangerous.
