Escape Attempt from CO plane delays flight
Escaped otters delay Ohio-bound flight in Houston
COLUMBUS, Ohio – Passengers on a Continental Airlines flight couldn't believe it when they saw an otter scurry from the plane's cargo hold and onto the tarmac at Houston's Bush Intercontinental Airport. The daring escape by a pair of otters delayed the Ohio-bound flight for about an hour Tuesday night.
One passenger said that most on board thought the delay was a joke at first. But another said they watched one of the otters scurry across the tarmac.
Airport workers managed to catch the otters and return them to their cages and the flight took off for Columbus.

Does CO have an 'escaped otters' procedure and was it followed correctly?
I think so. I lifted a page from the manual:
Quote:
Upon beaver escape, club animal with nearest manual or mx tool. Throw implement at bever. Engine should not ingest beaver or tool. Chase with tug, crew van, hitchhiking taxiing aircraft. Avoid active runways, take-offs, landings. Megaphone beaver VDB offer. Check beaver OP status. Update ground, tower, dispatch, ACARS, cabin.
Location: A festering pit; a pustule of a fistula set athwart the miasmic swamps of the armpit of the Gulf of Mexico - a Godforsaken wart upon a dark crevasse of the World. (IAH)
