jnelsoninjax Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 They say pigs don't fly, but this one came close.A pig landed on a US Airways flight out of Connecticut on Wednesday, but was taken off the plane after it became disruptive, a spokesperson told ABC News.Jonathan Skolnik, a professor at the University of Massachusetts Amherst and a passenger on the flight, told ABC News today he thought the woman with the pig was carrying a duffel bag when she got on the plane and headed straight for the empty seat next to him."But it turns out it wasn't a duffel bag. We could smell it and it was a pig on a leash," he said. "She tethered it to the arm rest next to me and started to deal with her stuff, but the pig was walking back and forth.""I was terrified, because I was thinking I'm gonna be on the plane with the pig," Snolnik added, saying he guesses the pig weighed between 50 and 70 pounds.But the flight didn't take off with the pig. The woman and the animal eventually deplaned.American Airlines, the parent company of US Airways, confirmed to ABC News that a passenger brought the pig aboard as an emotional support animal. After the pig became disruptive, she was asked to leave, a spokesperson said. Source Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DreadPirateRoberts Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 Why would she even try to get a pig on a plane anyway lol. Its pretty obvious that its not going to turn out well. I'm also pretty sure this isn't legal. So why wasn't she instantly kicked off the plane? Instead they wait for the pig to become disruptive? If I was the guy who had to sit next to that thing I would instantly go and complain about it and get the woman kicked off the plane far more swiftly.

Really? Terrified because he was on a plane with a small pig. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neyht Member Posted November 30, 2014 Member Share Posted November 30, 2014 I don't think it was smuggled onto the plane, the person quoted misidentified it as a duffel bag at first. She obviously got the "duffel bag" through a security check. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
