According to Phil Orlandella from the Boston Logan International Airport, officials have been asked by law enforcement to investigate the "possibility" of 16-year-old Delvonte Tisdale being able to get into a plane's wheel well and falling out during a flight.
Tisdale, 16, was found dead last weekend -- his body badly mutilated -- in an upscale neighborhood in Milton, Massachusetts. Reports have surfaced that his body was found over several blocks.
A check of AirNav shows that an aircaft landing on runway 4R would approach over Milton. In fact the LOM (Outer Marker) is called Milton. It would not be unusual for an aircaft to lower the landing gear upon reaching Milton which is about 6.9 miles from the runway. IAP Chart for ILS 4R is here.

If true,scary that a 16 yr old could possibly bring down a plane with very little planning and backpack of explosives.
Way to go TSA! I assume the "terrorists" we're so scared of, won't see this report on national news, as was the excuse for not notifying the US public on patdown changes.
Our country is led by idoits!
I am not even going for this theory! That kid would have been killed at take off or frozen to death!Q Baltimore just doesn't want to work the case period!

How do you know he wasn't dead when the gear dropped and he came out? Here's my theory if this did happen. Kids hops up in wheel compartment and is crushed when plane goes gear-up after taking off. All it takes is being in the wrong place in there and you will be cut up and mangled as he was later found to be. A few hours later the plane is on final for Logan airport when the gear is dropped and out he falls. How else can you explain his body parts being found in different lots? Not to mention how fast he got up there after being seen the night before at 11:30pm.....
Anon 9:03pm - Now that may be plausible, but how did he get past all the great security...roflmao!
Anon 9:03pm. Great security? There is none. If he was to board a plane at Charlotte, he could have easily gotten on the grounds with all the construction going on out there. My thing is how he would have gotten to the airport with no one seeing him period.
I am sorry but the theory of him doing this sucks. Why would anyone climb into a planes wheel well prior to takeoff without knowing where that plane is going. I don't buy no one, let alone Delvonte is stupid.
Sounds like he made his was to the airport and jumped a fence. At night it would be easy to run up under a plane and try to climb up in to one while they were backed up waiting to take off.
Exiting the nose gear at 140 knots might explain the dismemberment or if he got in the way of the equiptment as it came up.
Chances are he was dead long before bombs away.
If you ask me he was pretty brave, I'd be dammed if I would try to catch a ride on a 767 that way.
I'll go first class thank you!
