A 14-year-old homeless boy who stowed away in the landing gear of a passenger jet survived a 430-mile flight across southwest China, state media reported on Friday.

But a friend riding with him fell from the plane and died during Thursday?s hour-long flight between Kunming and Chongqing, which reached an altitude of about 23,000 feet.

?The survivor was found by porters at Chongqing airport ... The boy who survived the flight said the other boy fell from the aircraft when it took off?, the official Xinhua news agency said.
