I find this VERY hard to believe, but I guess It might just be true.

But this second report leaves a clue as to how he may have survived

http://www.russia-ic.com/news/show/4809/

What do you think?

One says "Inside" the wing and the other says "Riding" the wing

Was he inside the wing or outside ontop of the wing holding on?

Would have been inside the wing. Not much to hold onto and the wind at those speeds would have you flying off in no time.

should have drank vodka with his old man b4 he took off., that way it would have quashed most of the frostbite.... maybe?

Like John says would have to be inside. 737 cruise rates between 700-800 kph, with an operational ceiling of some 35 000 ft.

Anyone who's ever riden a motor bike will tell you, sit up from behind the screen at 200kph + and you'll struggle not to get ripped off the bike. So times that by 4, with nothing to hold onto and drop the temp to -50 and see how you go

Inside the wings are fuel tanks so that's unlikely. Hanging onto the wing at 900 km/h - that's unlikely. With today's security measures, good luck not seeing a kid on the wing at take off.

Smells a bit iffy by the sounds.

fuck me thats amazing! security is gonna get reemed for that!!

would have been inside the wing, there are spots at the flaps big enough for a small boy to fit in, he would of fallen off at take off trying to hold onto the wing so no way he was on the outside.

There's a good point on that second article in the comments section.

There's next to no air at 30-40 000ft... he would have suffocated surely.
