Horse Caused Plane To Make Emergency Landing Getting Loose In Cargo Hold
A cargo plane leaving New York had to make an emergency landing when a horse they were traveling with got loose in the cargo hold and they could not get it under control.
According to a report, the aircraft had already ascended to 31,000 feet and was over Boston when the pilot radioed air traffic control. In a recording of the conversation between the pilot and ATC, you can hear the pilot of the aircraft explaining to air traffic controllers that a horse they are transporting has escaped its enclosure and was loose on the airplane.
In the process of making the emergency landing, the plane had to dump 20 tons of fuel. The plane landed safely and a veterinarian was brought in to examine the horse and help is calm down. The horse was then resecured in the cargo hold and the flight took off again later that evening with the horse landing at its destination without issue.

According to Fox News, Dr. Marc Siegel once treated a 10-year-old patient whose nasal passage was clogged and causing them a lot of pain. Dr. Siegel says it took him a while to figure out that the child had stuck a battery up there. Dr. Siegel told Fox News, “Luckily, it didn’t leak and we were able to get it out.”
Orange Peel

Fox News points out that someone had to go to the ER because they had an orange peel up their nose. Definitely not where that belongs. At least everything would smell good for a while…
Battleship Game Piece

Fox News mentions that someone had to visit the Emergency Room because they put a game piece from the game Battleship up their ear. While it may be off the board, and a good place to hide a ship from being sunk, it’s not a smart idea. It can be stuck up their and difficult to get out. Another good reason to pay extra close attention when kids are playing games. Especially games with tiny pieces like Battleship.
Plastic Sword

Plastic items are commonly found in the body inside the Emergency Room. They can be found in the stomach, nose, ear, or anywhere you can imagine. According to Fox News, someone went to the ER because a plastic sword was stuck up their ear. That must hurt. Even though it’s plastic it still has a pointy edge! Ouch.
Steak Knife

Fox News says that someone had to go to the Emergency Room because they ingested a steak knife. I mean I’ve heard of the circus performers who swallow swords, but I don’t think you’re supposed to try that at home. Why would anyone try that? I wouldn’t want to swallow a spoon, let alone a knife. Eek!
Darts

I’ve had some wild horrible dart throws in my day. However, even the worst throw only ends up on the wall instead of the board. I’ve never had a dart end up inside my body. It has happened, though. According to Fox News, someone has had to visit the Emergency Room because they ingested darts. Why would anyone think about putting a sharp object anywhere close to their mouth? I don’t understand people…
