Flight to Atlanta grounded due to tarantula problem

[fholbert]

Didn't seem like much at first until I got to this:

They could not comment on how many spiders were on board the flight due to customer privacy.

He said the captain personally told him 750 rare African Tarantulas were on board, and most got loose.

Completely justified. If they wanted to tow that plane to the back 40 and set it on fire, that'd be justified too.

Nah, nuke that sucker, from space. I'm sure the surrounding populace would understand. I mean, it's spiders. BIG spiders.

That plane needs to be written off and incinerated.

What kind of plane was it? I need to avoid that fleet at Delta forever. Can't be too careful.
