NEWS: A frightening flight

http://www.newsinlevels.com/products/teenager-on-a-plane-level-3/

The news that I've chosen is about a teenager that tied himself in the wheel of a plane. The Somali boy wanted to go to Africa to find his mother, but the destination of the plane was Hawaii. The authorities didn't notice him when the plane took off in California. Surprisingly, he survived to really cold temperatures and to really low levels of pressure. He nearly ran away of oxygen. When the plane arrived to Hawaii, the boy confronted the airport workers, but was send to the hospital immediately. He was taken under protective custody and is now getting better.

I find that this is unbelivable. How did he survived to the flight? He must be Superman! And hasn't anyone thought about the planes landing? The wheels touch the floor during the landing, he should have died! This is totally amazing and a bit funny at the same time. How is it that the authorities didn't notice him? Well... I guess this is the kind of things that happen because of a lot of coincidences.

Here are the new words I've learned!

CCTV: security camera.
Stowaway: somebody who hides in a vehicle.
Lodge: place himself somewhere.
Brave: someone who can deal with a dificult situation.
Ordeal: difficult experience.
Protective custody: being kept somewhere for the person's own protection.

And here are some images from the security camera!
