Amazing. I never imagined this was possible. I see when your a kid you have better luck. This kid does obviously. It is amazing what the mind will get you through if you believe. I am sure this boy believed.

I read the kid was 'in' the wing but it is a breaking story. Survival at 10000 ft with little oxygen and -40 degree temps is a survival story in itself.

For sure ap. I will be amazed to see the interview with the Kid. Should be amazing tale from him.

He was probably in the wheel bay or some other crevice. There's no way he could hold on to the wing -- if he somehow did, it'd affect the plane's aerodynamics in a very noticeable way.

I was just thinking the same thing. There is no way that a boy that young could hold on for 2 hours at those kinds of speeds.

This story is probably just Russian propaganda anyways. I think that Putin wants us all to think that Russian kids are superhuman
