Cat pounces on pilot mid-flight
A pet cat said to be usually very nice created a scare on a Belgian airliner in mid-air, forcing the crew to high-tail it back to the safety of Brussels.
| Yeah, it's always the "nice" ones that draw blood. |
A "lot of coincidences", as the airline told BBC News Online, ended with the escaped creature running wild in the cockpit and attacking the co-pilot.
| Scared adrenaline-pumped cat, small confined space, razor sharp claws.... |
The captain ordered the Vienna-bound plane back after about 20 minutes. SN Brussels Airlines stressed the incident had been a fluke and the crew had observed all safety regulations. "We 100% support the decision made by the captain," Geert Sciot, the airline's communication vice-president, told the BBC. Nobody, he said, could tell what an agitated cat what might do in the circumstances, scrabbling around amid the sensitive equipment in the cockpit of the Avro RJ.
| Oh, how about reducing the flight crew to hamburger |
"It took a long time to catch it," he noted, describing the offending beast - said by Brussels newspaper La Derniere Heure to be a tom by the name of Gin - as "very aggressive".
| "tom named Gin", bet he's a big ginger colored tomcat. Had one like that named Sam, topped out at 25lbs fighting weight. Hated dogs, attacked them on sight, no fear at all, god I miss him. |
...more...
This speaks volumes. Lol! I'll leave the rest to your fertile imaginations, heh.
