1 Oct - "Haywire horse" delays KL643
Evidently tonight's AMS-JFK flight is carrying 14 horses in the cargo hold, and during taxi at Schiphol one of them started going "completely haywire," according to the captain. We're waiting on the tarmac for the horse to be unloaded, and the poor thing is shaking the entire plane with its thrashing.
Now I've seen everything. At least it happened at AMS and not somewhere over the ocean

I once had the pleasure on the return flight to Amsterdam in Economy sitting in the back before the cargo section. I thought it where Rhinos but it actually where horses kicking us all the way from NY to AMS. Luckily it was one of the fast ones, remembering it was 5hours 55mins flying time.
