i laughed out loud when i read that
 
i thought it was impossible to survive without oxygen/heat at the altitudes that a commercial jet travels at?
 
^ Thats just it, he didnt survive.

The illegals attach themselves to low flying, non supercharged, propeller driven aircraft. (super charging a prop-driven plane allows it to reach high altitudes where the air is thinner.)

yea, i got that he didnt survive lol
i was just wondering why someone would think they could do something like that and successfully make the trip

i guess it is possible
i see a 20.3% chance of survival noted on one website

this guy lived cause the plane flew low to avoid a storm
-41C temps

Well like klyph said, the guy probably had the mentality of a remora:

A remora (pronounced /ˈrɛmərə/), sometimes called a suckerfish or sharksucker, is an elongated, brown fish in the order Perciformes and family Echeneidae.[1][2][3] They grow to 30–90 centimetres long (1–3 ft), and their distinctive first dorsal fin takes the form of a modified oval sucker-like organ with slat-like structures that open and close to create suction and take a firm hold against the skin of larger marine animals. By sliding backward, the remora can increase the suction, or it can release itself by swimming forward. Remoras sometimes attach to small boats. They swim well on their own, with a sinuous, or curved, motion.
