Last night 7 deer wandered onto Shin Chitose Airport's main runway and succeeded in shutting down Japan's third busiest airport for 8 hours. How they got onto the runway remains a mystery. There is a 2 metre high security fence around the whole perimeter of the airport and after a hasty inspection this morning no holes, tunnels, or skillfully lock picked gates could be found.
These deer were good. Very good. Most likely the A-team of the Cervidae world.
That or, as Cian claims, they were Chinese special forces deer who parachuted onto the runway in order to test the airport's security.
Anyway the A-Team from Beijing managed to delay 33 flights, including a 17 hour wait for some very not amused travelers from Seoul, and cancel 8 more.
Finally, at 3:00 this morning Robert De Niro, Christopher Walken and a big guy called Axel managed to shoo the deer off the grounds of the airport.
Was Mick Wallace involved in this? Maybe there were rendition flights parked up.
