I think he is number 130. Anyway, a Guatemalan man has survived a flight from Guatemala City to Miami as a stowaway in the wheel well. This was reportedly an American Airlines 737 so he would have had only slightly more legroom than the passengers who paid for the flight.
How did the guy survive 1:40 h above 20,000ft, of which 1:10 was at 37,000 ft?
And not only survive, but you can see him standing next to the plane and in good condition in the video.
Evan your number seem to be right. This would be gear stowaway number 130, of which 100 did not make it. I am more surprised by the 30 that did, though.

If the cargo plane was a 747, there's a hatch into the E&E compartment from the nose wheel well. If he got in there before they pressurized he'd just be cold.

I wonder how cold with all that warm equipment around. How's the leg room? Given the situation in coach, I might have to consider it. I think they found him unconscious though. He was recovering in hospital.
Isn't there a cockpit indication when that hatch is opened?
There probably is, it's been 20 years since for me. However if he opened it crawled in and then closed it, they probably didn't notice it. But that compartment is pressurized.
