沙特警方透露，1月5日早上2点30分，沙特航空公司的一架飞机在麦地那紧急迫降之后，警方接到目击者电话称在吉达市，有人体遗骸从天而降。

Human body parts fell from the sky in the Saudi city of Jeddah on Sunday, with police saying they could be the remains¹ of someone trapped in an aircraft's undercarriage（起落架） bay.

"Police received a telephone call at 2:30 am from a witness reporting the fall of human remains at an intersection² in Mushrefa neighbourhood" in the Red Sea city, spokesman Nawaf bin³ Naser al-Bouq said in a statement.

Initial indications were that the remains "fell from a plane's landing gear," said Bouq, adding that investigations⁴ were ongoing⁵.

The report came after a Saudi Arabian Airlines jet made an emergency landing in the city of Medina in the west of the kingdom, injuring 29 people on Sunday.

That aircraft had been travelling from Iran's second city of Mashhad with 315 people on board.

A spokesman for the General Authority of Civil Aviation said there was no connection between the emergency landing in Medina and the Jeddah incident.

In a desperate attempt to cross borders, some people at poorly monitored airports climb inside the bays housing aircraft landing gear.

Most of them freeze to death once the aircraft reach cruising altitude（巡航高度）, but some survive.

In 2010, the head of Beirut's airport security resigned after the death of a man who managed to hide in the undercarriage bay of a Saudi-bound jet.

The man's body was found by a maintenance worker who was inspecting the gear of the Saudi-owned Nas Air Airbus A-320 after it landed in Riyadh.
