Flight Delay

On Tuesday at Bush Intercontinental Airport in Houston a Continental flight got delayed for a rather unusual reason. Two otters that were caged in the plane's cargo hold got loose and had to be caught. Once were captured they were put in a box and removed from the plane. Unfortunately for the passengers, one of the otters escaped again and had to be chased around on the tarmac for 45 minutes before being recaptured and removed. By the time the luggage was reloaded the plane took off an hour and 20 minutes late. The 7:55pm flight finally left at 9:15pm but at least the passengers have an interesting story to tell over Christmas dinner.
