Deer Walks Through Airport Security
OMAHA, Neb. - It had to look suspicious.
A deer walked through the revolving doors and made its way to the baggage claim area of Eppley Airfield around 7 a.m. CDT Wednesday.
Kay Bammel, who has worked at an airport car rental counter for about 35 years, said the animal appeared scared and was making an awful noise.
"Some guy with his family just went over and tackled her around the neck and got her down," Bammel said. "Then they went and got some duct tape because she was kicking so bad."
Airport police then carried the deer out of the terminal and took her to the nearby Missouri River.
There always are concerns about deer getting on the runway, but police said they never thought they'd find one in the terminal.
LOL--I guess I'm not too shocked about this one because I remember during my senior year in high school, a deer ran right past me and a group of friends, knocking one of my friends down that was on crutches due to a broke leg. At the time, everybody thought it was a dog until the poor thing got caught in a gate that led to the inside of the school. The Animal Control came out to rescue it. But that was so weird to see a deer actually running through our schoolyard and inside our school.
