Heard this on Howard today.  Apparently a 15 year old boy survived a two hour flight on…yes, on…the wing of a Boeing 737.  The boy suffered frostbite since temperatures drop to -58 Fahrenheit up where planes fly.  Not to mention the 737 was flying at 560 miles per hour.

The boy decided to take the flight after his parents got into a fight.  The flight was between Perm and Moscow.

Of course I’m skeptical about this story, but it has been widely reported by various news organizations, including the AP.  But at the same time, this story is kinda cool.  I’ve always wondered if it would be possible to hang on the wing of a plane during flight, and I guess it’s possible.
