This Week in South Florida: Aviation expert, attorney Willard Shepard

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. – On Sunday’s episode of This Week in South Florida, host Glenna Milberg interviewed Willard Shepard about a gut-wrenching discovery made after a JetBlue flight landed at Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport last week.

A routine check uncovered two people dead in the plane’s wheel well on Jan. 6, according to investigators.

While their identities and the reasons for their desperate decision to board the flight remain unclear, the manner in which they got there raises urgent security concerns.

Shepard, a veteran U.S. fighter pilot, attorney, and former award-winning broadcast journalist, shared his unique perspective on what went wrong and the potential risks involved.
