ATOOC: Escaped Horse

In this episode, an Air Atlanta Boeing 747 departs from JFK, headed for Liege, Belgium with some precious cargo. It's very common for top competition horses to be shipped by air between the United States and Europe. While in transit, these animals are placed in compact horse stalls and cared for by highly trained equine professionals to ensure their safety. In this wild clip, a horse actually escaped from the stall after take off and the equine flight attendant couldn't re-secure the animal. The pilot, radios the tower at JFK to return so the situation doesn't escalate. Shipping horses internationally can be a costly, dangerous activity and even requires special insurance due to its risky nature. Follow Amy Tango Charlie on Twitter: https://twitter.com/atoocpodcast
