Travel season is kicking up to its busiest time ever with the holiday season approaching, and it seems that NYC’s LaGuardia Airport has a furry traveler!
On Monday morning, a video went viral online showing a raccoon falling from the ceiling at a Spirit Airlines gate at LaGuardia Airport. Around 8 am, one X user @AhmadAnonimis caught a video of the entire interaction in LGA’s Terminal A, sending nearby travelers into a well-deserved panic.
According to The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, there were no injuries to any travelers and the animal was captured and released outside of the airport.
The statement also mentioned that airport staff members are working closely with a professional wildlife control company to monitor the area, identify potential entry points and implement necessary precautions to prevent future incidents.
This of course just comes a few weeks after the announcement of LaGuardia being named the best airport in the country…I’m sure the masked critter would agree.
