A particularly unusual incident was noted in flight of the US Airline Delta Airlineswhen two pigeons decided to … board the aircraftcausing panic to the passengers.
According to Daily Mailthe incident unfolded on Saturday night when boarding Delta’s 2348 Minneapolis to Wisconsin. As shown in video recorded by the passenger Tomthe first pigeon flies into the aircraft’s cabin, while passengers try to immobilize it with improvisation – even with jackets.
According to him, as soon as he got on the plane he heard a passenger inform a stewardess that there was a dove on the aircraft. Shortly afterwards, the pilot took the microphone and confirmed the presence of the uninvited “visitor”, stressing that he had no previous experience with such situations.
The first pigeon was removed from the aircraft thanks to the intervention of ground officials, and according to KO, some passengers applauded it, while a little girl asked if she could caress it.
However, the unexpected had not ended there. As the plane was getting ready to take off, a second dove appeared again in the cabin. The bird was finally captured and the aircraft returned to the gate for the second time.
“When the pilot informed the control tower that he was returning due to a dove, the auditor said it was the first time this was happening to him. The pilot replied that he was the second for him in half an hour, “commented with humor.
The second pigeon was also removed from the ground.
“Probably the pigeons were tired of flying and wanted snacks – they didn’t know that this flight was too short to offer meal service,” the passenger wrote in a sarcastic mood.
According to a Delta spokesman, 119 passengers and five crew members were on the flight. Departure delayed a total of 56 minutes due to the incident.
“We appreciate the cool reaction of our crew and passengers to safely remove birds from the aircraft and we apologize for the inconvenience,” the company said in a statement.
The episode is noted just a month after another United Airlines flight event when a rabbit was allegedly absorbed by the aircraft’s engine, causing fire.
The Boeing 737, which had taken off from Denver to Canada, was forced to land, as shortly after the take -off there was an explosion of the engine and a huge fiery sphere was visible from the windows.
One passenger described how loud noise was heard and felt vibration, while panic in the cabin. Fortunately, the plane landed safely.
