Thursday, 06 Nov, 2024 0

A raccoon caused a moment of chaos as travelers were set to board a flight at New York’s LaGuardia Airport.

The critter suddenly burst through the ceiling sending passengers and airport staff running for cover.

It happened at a Spirit Airlines gate.

Video footage shows the raccoon hanging on a cable coming from the ceiling before falling to the ground.

The frightened critter then scurried away past a TSA security checkpoint.

A Port Authority spokesperson said the raccoon was eventually captured alive and released unharmed out the airport.

It is unknown how the raccoon got into the airport.
