A young child living in a crowded, and under staffed foster home literally flew from his former home by stowing away on a flight from Moscow to Siberia, Russia in the planes landing gear. The seventeen year old no longer felt that he had to live in his foster home, so he decided to hitch a ride to Siberia, and survived with only a light coat on him. Many other people have tried to escape their lives by doing the same thing, but they have died trying. One other stow away succeeded in his journey, but was hospitalized for hypothermia.
I think its sad that the boy wanted to get away from his foster home so badly that was willing to risk falling out of a planes landing gear and staying there for almost an hour. Many people have tried the same things that the boy has and they have died. They fell out of the plane, and some of them died from hypothermia because of the landing gear has no protection from the outside elements. This poor kid lived in such terrible conditions and he wanted to escape. He couldn't live the way he was anymore so he left. I feel like he shouldn't have done something so drastic to try and escape but the point he made was loud and clear. The foster home that he was in should have taken better care of him or treated him better so he wouldn't have tried to escape in such a deadly way.
