Foxes On The Runway Delay Plane Landing (http://news.sky.com/story/1047299/foxes-on-the-runway-delay-plane-landing)





A family of foxes caused disruption at Edinburgh Airport this morning when they decided to 'hang out' on the runway.


British Airways flight 1432 was forced to circle in the air for 15 minutes whilst officials checked that the coast was clear.


A specialist team were dispatched to disperse the animals but they left of their own accord.


The plane landed safely with the pilot apologising to passengers for any undue excitement caused.

Yoiks, could have been a brush with death, but fortunately the specialist team were on hand to tell 'em to foxtrot off without hounding them too much. :)

"left of their own accord". Fluffy tree hugger placation. Had they not done so, and the correct vehicle been sent , they would have been shot.
