Horse on Loose in Cargo Forces Emergency Landing at JFK Airport
TL;DR
A cargo plane en route to Belgium from JFK Airport was forced to return after a horse escaped from its stall within 30 minutes of takeoff. The Boeing 747 made an emergency landing, dumping fuel over the Atlantic to reduce weight, and requested a veterinarian to be present upon arrival. The horse remained unrestrained until landing, and it is unclear how it managed to escape. The flight later took off and successfully reached its destination.
