Flight Delayed When Alligator Wanders Onto Tarmac
Alligator Sighting On Tarmac in Florida
Alligators are all over the place. We’ve seen them on people’s porches. We see them setting up shop in people’s pools. We all remember the giant one that was wandering on the golf course a few years ago. Well, now you might see an alligator at the airport.
According to UPI, “A passenger on a plane at a Florida airport captured video of the moment a large alligator wandered among the planes on the tarmac.” The flight was delayed as an airport employee showed up to shoo the gator away.
TikTok user, @AliDrake1, post the video on the app to share with the masses. The video has racked up over 14K views already. It can be seen below.
We’ve heard of snakes on a plane of course, but luckily this didn’t turn into a scene from a movie. Having alligators on the plane would be a terrifying experience for everyone involved. According to our listeners in Florida, alligators are just part of the package. It comes with the territory. You live in Florida, you might encounter some gators.
Animal Encounters
Do you have any wild animal encounters you’d like to share with us? We talk about animal stories all the time. Critters showing up in places they aren’t supposed to and wreaking havoc. The amount of bear stories we’ve talked about has reached the hundreds. But, like alligators in Florida, if you live in places like California, you’re going to encounter bears.
We’re glad no one was injured in this example. The gator was okay and all the passengers were okay. It would be shocking to see a gator walking across the tarmac as you’re getting ready to take off. But, as I said before, at least it was just outside minding its own business and not trying to get a seat.
