Feet Don’t Fail Me Now

Pictured below is one of those freak instances that a photographer just managed to capture: a rabbit unlucky enough to be wandering on the runway as an Airbus 380 (which isn’t yet in general use) comes in for a landing. The rabbit escaped unharmed, which is quite an achievement; the landing speed for commercial airliners is in the neighbourhood of 250 km/h. There are more details on the story here.

A wag named Ryland quipped upon seeing the photo: “Ladies and gentlemen, if you look out the windows on the left side of the plane, you can see Easter being cancelled.”
