A stowaway fell on a Sheen road on Sunday:

In 2001, a man fell from a British Airways Boeing 777 which was heading towards Heathrow and landed in a Homebase car park in Richmond.

    According to this Guardian article, there's been other cases in 1996, 1998 and 2001. That's about one stowaway falling on Richmond every four years.
