Man found in plane's cargo hold

BOSTON -- Officials are investigating after a man was found sleeping inside the cargo bin of a Jet Blue plane that landed at Boston's Logan International Airport this weekend.

The plane was coming from New York's John F. Kennedy Airport and landed in Boston Saturday around 11 a.m.

When baggage handlers opened the cargo door, they found a man inside the belly of the plane with the luggage.

Officials rushed to the scene and determined that the man was a Jet Blue crewmember who said that he was accidentally locked inside the cargo bin when he had fallen asleep.

He was sent back home to New York on a plane after authorities learned that he was not dangerous.

A statement from Jet Blue said, "We are investigating the incident. We do not have further details to share at this time."
