The invasion began unfolding, slowly, at around 8:30 a.m., when an American Eagle flight crew reported seeing three turtles while taxiing out for departure. Before long, a chorus of pilots was radioing the tower to report turtles either on the end of a runway that juts out into the water, or approaching on the grass.
Jets hit turtles a few times each year at JFK, usually in the final days of June or earliest days in July, according to the FAA's wildlife strike database. There have been no recent reports of the strikes causing any damage to an airplane.
Uh-oh. I don't believe it another turtles into JFK property yet again. So the workers will have to be removed the turtles out of the runway and put it back where it belongs into the oceans. So I am not aware about wildlife out there. It will get rid of the birds out of airports immediately. It will be cause the entire planes will be damaged. We doesn't want to happened another plane crashes into the water.

Why so much concern?
I'm sure that wouldn't have brought the plane down. If the turtles can't stay of the runway then tough t!tt!@s. There is far too much compassion here. If they flew they could bring a plane down. Would they care? Ask yourself that question because you get all sobby on me.

Because if a plane runs over a turtle, the turtle turns to more than 3oz of gel, which would trigger a TSA tarmac dump.

South american turtles have to be jealous. No 3oz idiocy so getting run over would not be an issue. But they would probably be safe if they wore mouth masks, hinting at swine flue - nobody will come close to you.
I wonder what the turtles are coming ashore at the same time each year for?
I have no idea where it came from. It was coming from under the oceans. This is bad timer for turtles is blocked the runway. So those pilots need to taking own responsibilities check the runway processed to be clearing takeoff from JFK. They will have need make sure it is everything is good and the entire plane will allowed to takeoff out of JFK. We don't want happening again in the future. I think Port Authority will have to be patrol around perimeter areas. They will have to be more cautions to keep wildlife out there near JFK runway and everywhere else.

They could do a lot of damage if ingested into an engine.
Was a little disappointed to see in the comments on the NY Times story that the turtles were "just" nesting, rather than making "slow, sweet love", as the article put it. Still, I think it might be the cutest flight delay ever.

It might not have brought the plane down, but it could have caused damage to tyres or undercarriage which would have caused money to fix.
It is the duty of the airport operator to provide a safe operating environment. Ignoring the presence of FOD on runways and taxiways after they have been alerted to its presence is just asking for a court case in the event of any damage to a plane as a result. And so, the turtles should be moved.
