A grim discovery was made late Monday night when two bodies were found in the landing gear compartment of a JetBlue plane after it landed in Florida.

Flight 1801 had flown from New York’s John F. Kennedy International Airport to Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport.  

The airline confirmed in a statement on Tuesday that the bodies were discovered during a routine post-flight maintenance check shortly after the plane touched down at 11:10 p.m.

New York Times reports that the paramedics at the scene pronounced the individuals dead, according to the Broward County Sheriff’s Office.  

The flight, which departed New York at 7:49 p.m., carried passengers unaware of the tragic circumstances unfolding in the aircraft’s undercarriage.
