Proof that air travel really stinks
A skunk in a cargo hold on American Airlines Flight 915 delayed the trip for more than two hours to Bogota.
“Little was known about the skunk Wednesday night — how it made its way on or off the Airbus A300 remained a mystery ,†said The Miami Herald.
”We don’t have any idea how the skunk got on,” said Tim Wagner, an airline spokesman.
The skunk apparently made itself at home inside the bulk-cargo compartment, used to stow parcels and packages.
Airline ramp workers likely made the discovery.
”I think they smelled it,” Mr Wagner said.
Wagner didn’t know if any odor made its way into the passenger cabin but said that would be unlikely.
It’s unknown what happened to the skunk.
