Ridiculous Reason For Flight Delays Right Before Takeoff

Wrong Place At The Wrong Time

Now, this is a crazy case that happened back in 2012. A 10-year-old cat named Ripples managed to break free from his pet carrier when the latch broke straight after boarding an Air Canada plane in Halifax.

Like any smart traveler, Ripples immediately headed for the first-class — then he somehow managed to get into the cockpit, where he hid in a small compartment underneath the crew’s feet. The passengers had to disembark from the aircraft while techs worked to capture the cat and get him back into his cage. Four hours later, only then the plane was able to take off.

Next time you take a cat with you on a plane, make sure the carrier is safely fastened and no cats can escape to avoid any inconvenience.
