Plane forced to return to airport after horse gets loose on board | US News<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
A plane was forced to return to an airport shortly after taking off when a horse got loose on board.<\/p>\n
Around half an hour after leaving New York on its way to Belgium, the Boeing 747 cargo plane contacted air traffic control to inform them of the escaped animal.<\/p>\n
“Yes sir, we are a cargo plane,” a pilot can be heard saying in an air traffic control recording obtained by Live ATC<\/strong>.<\/p>\n “We have a live animal, a horse, on board the aeroplane and the horse managed to escape its stall. We don’t have a problem as of flying-wise, but we need to return to New York.<\/p>\n “We cannot get the horse back secure.”<\/p>\n FlightRadar24 data showed the plane had climbed to 31,000ft before being forced to make a U-turn off the coast of Boston.<\/p>\n The audio showed it then dumped around 20 tonnes of fuel over the Atlantic, to ensure the aircraft was not above the safe weight limit for landing.<\/p>\n The pilot can then be heard asking air traffic control to request a vet is present when the flight lands at New York’s JFK airport.<\/p>\n ‘We have a horse in… difficulty’<\/strong><\/p>\n Upon landing, a control tower worker asked the pilot if they required assistance.<\/p>\n “On the ground, negative, on the ramp, yes,” he replied.<\/p>\n “We have a horse in… difficulty.”<\/p>\n The operator of the 9 November flight, Air Atlanta Icelandic, has been contacted for comment.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n \u0627\u0644\u0645\u0635\u062f\u0631<\/a>
