Raccoon Causes Chaos After Falling Through LaGuardia Airport Ceiling

The unexpected visitor disrupted travelers at a Spirit Airlines terminal, leading to a swift capture and release outside.

A raccoon fell from the ceiling at LaGuardia Airport's Terminal A, used by Spirit Airlines, causing panic among passengers and staff.
The incident occurred around 8 a.m. and was captured on video, showing the raccoon dangling from a cable before dropping to the floor.
The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey confirmed that the raccoon was safely captured and released outside, with no injuries reported.
Airport staff are collaborating with a wildlife control company to identify entry points and prevent future incidents.
LaGuardia Airport recently underwent an $8 billion renovation, but the historic Terminal A was not included in this upgrade.
