Three Chinese teenagers who attempted to enter the United States illegally by hiding in a plane's upper cabin were caught by police at Beijing airport on Monday.
The stowaways first legally boarded an Air China flight from Shanghai to Beijing on Monday morning.
As instructed by the smugglers, they snuck during the flight into the upper cabin containing the operating and air-conditioning systems at the rear of the plane.
