- weatherman5000, on 11/09/2007, -19/+782Pics or it didn't happen.
- FreakyD, on 10/10/2007, -9/+558Don't believe it......can't believe it. News reporters get blown off their feet reporting a hurricane with 130 MPH winds, and he held on with little air, frostbite and going 600 MPH?
- krizzle, on 10/10/2007, -8/+386I just flew to Moscow and boy are my arms tired.
- nepawoods, on 10/10/2007, -2/+33150 C below freezing, 560mph winds. I highly doubt it. Maybe if he were inside the wheel well, protected.
- GoChris, on 10/10/2007, -7/+243Not possible, -50C not including the wind chill factor. At 900 km/h...that would be some serious cold. He'd be dead in minutes.
- geekchic, on 10/18/2007, -2/+204Was William Shatner on the flight?
- 10001110101, on 10/10/2007, -2/+193Sorry for the comment hijack, but a number of people below are calling BS. It did happen, but this article is completely inaccurate. He was in the wheel well:

(Hopefully we can trust the Moscow Times) - jotate, on 10/10/2007, -2/+186I'm fairly certain this is the kind of thing that will turn that boy into a super hero with ice-based powers.
- vroom101, on 10/10/2007, -7/+153This story is majorly testing my incredulity.
- sjbdallas, on 10/10/2007, -1/+129Maybe he was in the wheel well and someone assumed he was on the wing. i might buy that.
- stealthduke, on 10/10/2007, -1/+124Other news reports say he was inside the wheel well (obvious to me anyways). This article is just terribly inaccurate.
- aixelsyD, on 10/18/2007, -2/+113 - the boy's parents were immediately informed, and flew to the capital the same day also by clinging to the wing of another 737.
- Nikonian, on 08/17/2008, -6/+116Don't drop me bro!
- rgaino, on 10/18/2007, -2/+100Did he get mileage for this?
- mozillaman0, on 10/10/2007, -1/+96Must be the vodka.
- anillop, on 10/10/2007, -3/+87This is the first time I have ever seen this joke here and it is actually funny.
- saralovemuffins, on 10/10/2007, -7/+90Yeah, seriously. I smell *****.
- Lobstertacular, on 10/10/2007, -3/+84I believe this about as much as the link at the top of the page to the video of UFO's attacking the Ukraine.
- Ramble, on 10/10/2007, -3/+82So a young boy held onto a plane wing with frostbite and winds of 600mph at an altitude where he'd suffocate within about 30 seconds?
For 2 hours? - jonkaz, on 11/07/2007, -0/+75http://newsfromrussia.com/society/stories/25-09-20 ...
It's actually plausible, once you learn he was inside the wing. - inactive, on 10/10/2007, -2/+75The plane was on a treadmill.
- halik, on 10/10/2007, -7/+74burried as absolute *****
- mozillaman0, on 10/18/2007, -6/+69Chuck Norris saw him hanging from that plane and hid him in his beard to keep him warm. That explains everything.
- benjony, on 10/10/2007, -1/+61It's true the same thing happened to my cousin now he hates flying.
- skunkman62, on 10/10/2007, -0/+57damn, i was going to say the same thing but you beat me to it
- mrbeagle, on 10/10/2007, -1/+54Digg: on the cutting edge of humour
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -4/+53Well I guess that makes you funny too! And you didn't even have to tell a joke! I guess the next time someone makes a funny joke I'll go, "I was just about to make that joke" then people will think I'm really, really funny and I'll have friends! Finally!
- gambyt13, on 10/10/2007, -6/+54Pic here.

And yes, this seems perfectly feasible. What's a miracle is that this kid lived. - drakenlot, on 10/10/2007, -2/+49I'm tempted to click on it, but I won't for fear of being Rick Roll-ed
- madbadger, on 10/10/2007, -2/+48I don't think so.
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -7/+49he's gonna have the worst nightmares forever.
ugly... - algorythmic, on 10/10/2007, -1/+41pics: http://www.tden.ru/articles/society/019055/
- jwmcevoy, on 10/10/2007, -9/+48Brilliant
- KevenM, on 10/10/2007, -3/+42I get the feeling that the story link should have been to imdb.com
- dorianh49, on 10/10/2007, -1/+39coming from the guy who spelled "you're" incorrectly.
- saltinekracka20, on 10/10/2007, -2/+40"inside a wing of Boeing-737."
And there you have it. - Woah_G!, on 10/10/2007, -2/+39http://www.cobrabrigade.com/images/kid-on-plane-73 ...
It isn't the first time it happened to him. - witcompe, on 10/10/2007, -3/+39Calm down, tiger. Take your meds.
- digitaloxygen, on 10/10/2007, -2/+35I would say that is accurate. Just reading the digg version and it screams ***** right in it. "It remains unclear how Andrei was able to climb on a plane wing un-noticed...". Just how the hell could nobody notice this kid on the wing for a 2 hr flight? Nobody looks out the windows these days?
- jerrycan, on 10/10/2007, -0/+31he was armless too, but he stood on the wing and leaned into the wind....
- bsolidgold, on 10/10/2007, -1/+31They didn't have a seat big enough for him and his huge balls.
- johnn11238, on 10/10/2007, -7/+36I'm not anywhere near the biggest skeptic on digg, but...
BULL-*****-*****. - TiMMY8765, on 10/10/2007, -3/+31all he wanted to do was ghost ride his whip
- dorianh49, on 10/10/2007, -3/+29That would be highly illogical.
- mountaincable, on 10/10/2007, -0/+26It's a perfectly cromulent story.
- therealknewman, on 10/10/2007, -0/+25ahaha i logged in just to dig this comment
- nilsko, on 10/10/2007, -2/+25There“s someone one the wing, some thing.
- drachemorder, on 10/10/2007, -0/+23According to some posts higher up, he was in the wheel well. Survivable (if barely), but still very dangerous.
- Spetz, on 10/10/2007, -2/+25No way. He'd pass out from oxygen loss and probably die. What they dont tell you on planes is that if you fail to put your mask on within seconds of a "sudden decrease in cabin pressure", you will pass out. This is why they tell you to put your own on before helping others. Although since he was climbing he'd experience a gradual change in pressure and oxygen concentration - I'm intrigued.
- logicalnoise, on 10/10/2007, -3/+25so shatner was telling the truth?
