FULL STORY: You’re not allowed to have an emotional support horse on an airplane . . . because it would be a problem if it got loose. (???)
Last week, a plane that departed New York’s JFK International Airport had to return shortly after take-off . . . when a HORSE got loose on the aircraft.
It was a cargo plane that was carrying animals . . . not a passenger plane. The horse somehow broke out of its stall, and couldn’t be secured . . . so the pilot told air traffic control that they’d have to come back.
The pilot requested that a VET be made available upon landing, because the horse was, quote, “in difficulty.” It’s unclear what that means, and there’s no word on the horse’s condition.
The plane was headed to Belgium. It took off again six hours later, and successfully made it that time.
(Here’s the air traffic control audio.)
