Conflicting views on death in Biman's wheel carriage

By Staff Correspondent
Bangladesh Biman and the Civil Aviation Authority of Bangladesh (CAAB) were yet to find out the facts behind the mysterious death of a young man inside the wheel carriage of a Blman airbus.
The young man. aged about 20. was found dead when the Biman airbus landed at Riyadh airport early Saturday. The
body was yet to be brought back. Biman and Special Branch (SB) sources said, adding that identity of the man could not be confirmed till yesterday.
When contacted, senior official of the CAAB ruled out the possibility that the young man boarded the wheel carriage when the Riyadh bound aircraft was waiting on the runway at Zia International Airport (ZIA) at about 9; 15 pm on Friday.
The official said that the temperature near the engines would be too high for a man to approach. "When fully airborne, at an altitude of around 35,000 feet, the temperature In the carriage would fall to -55 degrees Celsius, impossible for a person to survive under the circumstances." he added.
On the other hand, a Biman official, quoting the findings of their preliminary inquiry, told this correspondent that after being taxied to the runway, the aircraft waited for about four minutes before the take-off run At the time, the ill fated young
man might have crept into the wheel carriage.
Meanwhile. CAAB officials suspected that some staff at Biman's hanger at the ZIA might have helped the young man climb into the pocket when the aircraft was in the hanger between 10 am and 6 pm on Friday. The alleged that lot of outsiders roam about without valid passes in the restricted areas in and around the hanger.
ZIA sources, when contacted said that the security of Biman aircraft at ZIA was maintained by Biman's own security wing whether it was in the hanger or at the bay. The security of the aircraft belonging to foreign airlines was looked after by the CAAB security wing.
A ZIA official also did not rule out the possibility that the body of the young man was dumped into the wheel carriage.
A CAAB official said. 'The holding time of the airbus on the runway was about two minutes and two of their security men were standing near the runway at the time. They did not see anyone running towards the aircraft."
The CAAB and the Biman formed separate inquiry committees to probe the Incident. Besides, both were waiting for the autopsy report of the man from Riyadh.
The Special Branch was also investigating the incident.
