A Delta Airlines flight traveling from Minneapolis to Madison, Wisconsin experienced an unusual and surprising delay—because of two pigeons that somehow got inside the airplane.
Before the plane could take off, one of the pigeons was safely caught and removed. But the second pigeon remained unnoticed until the flight was already in the air. That pigeon began flying around the cabin, startling many passengers and causing a lot of confusion.
Due to safety concerns and the unexpected situation, the pilot made the decision to turn the plane around and land. This helped avoid any further risk or discomfort to the passengers and crew.
Interestingly, one of the passengers managed to catch the pigeon using a jacket. A video of the moment was shared online and quickly went viral, gaining a lot of attention on social media for how strange and unexpected the event was.
Delta Airlines later confirmed that the flight had been delayed for 56 minutes. They also apologized to all passengers for the inconvenience caused by this rare and unexpected situation.
This incident shows how even something as small as a bird can create big problems on a flight, and it reminds us of the importance of safety and quick action during emergencies.
