A 21-year-old JetBlue baggage handler apparently dozed off in a plane's cargo bin at JFK Airport— and then found himself stuck inside while the plane was in transit. The Daily News says that Sidney Nurse called JetBlue (from the plane) about being stuck, but had wait to after the plane landed 200 miles north at Logan Airport in Boston until he was rescued. And luckily the plane's cargo hold is pressurized—Nurse was relatively unscathed. Still, the Massachusetts State Police said, "Even after talking to him, we were a little uncertain as to how it happened. This may have been accidental." JetBlue is investigating the Saturday incident; Nurse returned home—in a passenger seat—on another flight.
