Two fall to their deaths from New York-bound plane

The airport personnel at Guayaquil scurried to the runway as they noticed three objects falling out of LATAM Airlines flight and landing with a thud, fearing the NY bound plane to Ecuador had lost important parts.

The pair, who are thought to be 25 and 30 years old, were on a plane bound for NY from the coastal city of Guayaquil in Ecuador.

Police would not reveal the identities or nationalities of the men, but said they likely fainted or were ejected during take-off. The first one had a pulse, but died minutes later. A suitcase with clothes and about NZ$30 also was found.

"What is known is that the plane came from Peru", Bastamante told the newspaper.

The victims fell from the plane's landing-gear after taking off from Jose Joaquin de Olmedo International Airport at 9 a.m.in Guayaquil, Ecuavisa reported.

The aircraft was later allowed to continue its scheduled flight, but it may be required to return to the Central American country to assist with the investigation. The flight continued to its destination of NY after the incident occurred. After the gears fold up and the plane climbs, the temperature can fall below zero as the air pressure plunges to dangerously low levels, sometimes inducing a hibernation-like state.

The men were not passengers, Harry confirmed in a statement, adding that the airline has been cooperating with investigative authorities.
