Jack Hanna Stuck at Airport

Animal expert Jack Hanna and an 11-month-old flamingo became trapped while trying to squeeze through an airport security turnstile. It took firefighters to finally get the flamingo out. Hanna, the director emeritus of the Columbus Zoo and a frequent guest on nationally televised talk shows, was returning from a zoo fundraiser with a mongoose, a small leopard and the flamingo. Because the terminal was closed, the only way to leave the tarmac was through a 10-foot-tall metal turnstile with several horizontal bars. When Hanna stepped in toting the flamingo in a 2-foot-wide crate, the pair got stuck.
