The Boeing-737 has a cruising speed of 900 kmh (560 mph).
oh come on. how the hell is someone going to hold onto an airplane going that fast?

Well, you can call BS, but here is the second part of the story:

After running away from home last week, hitching a ride to the airport, and clambering into the wheel well of a passenger plane...That makes it a tad bit more believable.

That changes things, doesn't it? I called BS to "holding on to the wing while going 560 mph for two hours" not BS on the wheel well. I mean, if he was holding the wing, someone sitting inside *might* of mentioned this to someone in the plane and turned around.

No way, if you're a crazy russian, you'd be making bets on how long he'd stay on there. I bet everyone in the plane was on that side and the guy with the window seat was taking bets.

Search the news about the peolpe in Africa that were trying to seek refuge in the US so they would climb up in the wheel wells. They all died except one who was on the verge of deathe and spent months in the hospital.
I am calling BS as well because the US news would have been all over this.
