BEIJING - Three Chinese teenagers were discovered trying to stow away in a New York-bound Boeing 747 by hiding in the cabin roof, the Beijing News reported on Wednesday.
The 17-year-old boy and two 16-year-old girls were discovered by a security guard at Beijing airport on Monday. They had boarded the Air China plane in Shanghai.
During a stop-over in Beijing, they entered the cabin crew's rest area and climbed into the overhead section through a maintenance porthole, the paper said.
The three had instructions on their cell phones, indicating the possibility of an inside job, it said.
All three came from Fujian, a province famous for its "snakeheads", or human smugglers, who help traffic Chinese to Europe and North America.
