Bull Paralyzes Sheremetyevo

Dec. 5, 2010

Operations at Sheremetyevo Airport, Moscow’s main international hub, were halted for 20 minutes after a young bull blocked the runway, RIA-Novosti reported.

The bull, which escaped from a plane owned by the Air Bridj Cargo company late Thursday, was eventually caught, but not before five planes had to switch airports, landing in Moscow’s Domodedovo, the report said, citing a Sheremetyevo spokeswoman.

It was unclear how the animal managed to escape.
