Night Hunter Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 The unwelcome guests caused a right buzz when they delayed a plane and caused havoc in the cabin Airport rules were breached when around 1,000 would-be plane passengers with no boarding pass or bookings attempted to board a jetliner. But the travellers weren't people - they were BEES. The stripy stingers delayed the American Airlines flight in Texas for more than an hour when they flew into the plane before it took off. According to NBC News, the pilot said a queen bee had flown into the wing while it was at its departure gate at Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport on Wednesday. Karin McCay posted images online of insect experts in protective clothing who attended the scene - and of the passengers eager to leave without any extra baggage on board. American Airlines gave no comment to NBC News about the incident. Source http://www.mirror.co.uk/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leader RedBaird Posted October 16, 2015 Leader Share Posted October 16, 2015 Looking at the link in Panth3r's report, the Mirror had already moved the story from the main page(?) to the "Weird News" section. To look at the story, I had to answer a survey question: http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/world-news/over-1000-bees-board-plane-6644170 and I gave them a fake name. I hope that they don't DDOS my IP! Don't bother, like I did, as Panth3r's post has it all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
