Swan on Runway Delays Planes at London’s Heathrow Airport


Air traffic was stalled at London’s bustling Heathrow Airport this week when an unidentified flying object landed on the runway. It turns out a young swan decided that the middle of the tarmac would be the perfect spot to swoop down and hang out for a bit. Air traffic controllers were called and broke out into a wild goose chase, driving all over trying to convince the confused swan to leave. They eventually caught the little guy and let him go in a safe, plane-free zone.
