Two fighter jets were scrambled to escort a passenger jet that was forced to make an emergency landing after a woman on board allegedly became unruly over her cat.
Passengers on board the Condor Airlines flight from Las Vegas to Frankfurt claimed the woman brought her cat onto the plane and became enraged when her pet was put in a lavatory by cabin crew.

- Kind of reminds me of something I heard (or read) many years ago about TV shows: "the rifle that hangs above the mantelpiece in the first act will be used to shoot someone in the third act."
Tanks start at 30 tons - 6 tons is a glortified pickup.
The woman put everyone on that plane in extreme danger. If they thought she was attempting to bring the plane down as she threatened to do, that flight could have been immediately shot down out of the sky, to neutralize the problem from spreading once it landed. She should be blocked from flying if carrying a cat in her purse is the only way it works.
She should be prosecuted.
Theres a direct flight from Las Vegas to Frankfurt?
LOL!! THAT ^^ was my take, from this article, too ;-)
If they had shot the plane down, the only survivor would have been the cat. Cats always land on their feet, and of course have nine lives.
So true, for cats and rats and democrats.
Probably one of those MRAPs they were handing out like party favors a few years ago.

Obviously one of Trump's "mental health issues" cases.
He's correct. Re-open long-term mental health homes like we had in better days. The libs oppose this...and this is what we get.
BTW, does she have family and, if so, do they know she's flying around the world with the Mafia protecting her?

“Condor has 11 Boeing 767 longhaul aircraft, some of which are configured with more business class seats than others. This allows the airline to assign those aircraft to flights that have more premium demand than others. For example, Las Vegas and Seattle have significant demand in the premium cabin, and they routinely get the bigger business class cabin aircraft”
“Tanks start at 30 tons - 6 tons is a glorified pickup.”
It’s one of the ones being used in Afghanistan. It outclasses everybody’s ability to take defensive actions hereabout. Assuming, of course, somebody wanted to.
Just give me a roll of duct tape and I’ll take care of the problem.
Brilliant!
These guys will do anything for pussy...
A woman brought a very limp parrot into a veterinary hospital. As she lay her pet on the table, the vet pulled out his stethoscope and listened to the bird’s chest. After a moment or two, the Vet shook his head sadly and said, “I’m so sorry, Polly has passed
away.”
The distressed owner wailed, “Are you sure? I mean, you haven’t done any testing on him or anything. He might just be in a coma or something.”
The vet rolled his eyes, shrugged, turned and left the room returning a few moments later with beautiful black Labrador. As the bird’s owner looked on in amazement, the dog stood on his hind legs, put his front paws on the examination table and sniffed the dead parrot from top to bottom. He then looked at the vet with sad eyes and shook his head.
The vet led the dog out but returned a few moments later with a cat. The cat jumped up and also sniffed delicately at the ex-bird. The cat sat back, shook its head, meowed and ran out of the room. The vet looked at the woman and said, “I’m sorry; but like I said, your parrot is most definitely, 100% certifiably ...dead.”
He then turned to his computer terminal, hit a few keys and produced a bill which he handed to the woman. The parrot’s owner, still in shock, took the bill. “$150!” she cried. “$150 just to tell me my bird is dead?!”
The vet shrugged. “If you’d taken my word for it, the bill would only have been $20, but with the Lab Report and the Cat Scan, what did you expect?”
They could have locked her in the restroom with the cat. Doesn’t the toilet have a seatbelt?
I remember a flight when it should have! : (
Our cat, Brutus, is, like most cats, spoiled, restless & wants what she wants when she wants it. There is no way I would inflict her on other people. Cats go where they want to go, even if it is straight up.
