Flight delays are always unpleasant, but on Sunday evening, one happened at Crete's Heraklion airport for a rather humorous reason. A griffon vulture had taken up residence on the plane and stubbornly refused to leave. Firefighters had to intervene. The plane eventually took off without the stowaway, whose feathers were a mix of brown and gray-white.
Firefighters had to take action to remove the bird.Birds are often sucked by airplane engines and sometimes this causes serious accidents.
An apparently quite persistent goose vulture settled on an airplane at Heraklion airport and was not so easy to drive away. Finally, the fire department had to get there.
A griffon vulture was the culprit behind the delay of a flight from the popular Greek island of Crete. The bird perched on the wing of a Ryanair plane and refused to move. Firefighters used a ladder to reach the bird and carefully remove it from the plane.
Vogel sat on the wing from where he did not want to move away. Finally, the fire department managed to capture the animal after all.
