Choochy the white poodle caused a raucous at Boston’s Logan Airport. She broke free on the tarmac after her “cramped” flight from Detroit landed at 7:15p on Saturday October 25th 2008. She was successful “to elude nearly a dozen Massport employees and State Police, holding up runway traffic as she cavorted on the tarmac”. She managed to delay 8 flights for about 20 minutes each.
Imagine to be on a flight about to land at the airport and being told that they cannot land due to a poodle on ground
.
From Boston Globe -
Gideon Lester, who was headed to New York, watched from his window
aboard his 11 a.m. US Airways flight, which sat on the runway for 25
minutes as five Massport vans drove in circles trying to corral Choochy.The
poodle “seemed to be having a good time,” said Lester, artistic
director of the American Repertory Theatre. “They looked like they were
running cattle.”His fellow passengers were mostly amused rather
than annoyed by the runaway, he said, but were “a little incredulous
that it would take so many men so many hours to catch this little dog.”
