Turtles aren’t exactly the most exciting animal in the world. They’re cool and all, but it’s not like we can cuddle up to their shells shell or play fetch with the little guys. But though turtles are lacking in the fun pet qualifications department, we’ve discovered they’re still jolly ol’ nuggets.
June 3, 2012 It's Sunday and I don't want to hear any excuses about how you can't go out and have some fun today! Seriously it's your last day of freedom before you have to head back to the trenches we call work! Put down the remote, get off the couch, and go have some fun today! Look I've made it super simple too! Here are some great events this weekend you'll want to check out!
Most of us have experienced flight delays, but probably none like this! Flights were temporarily halted at New York's John F. Kennedy Airport on Wednesday morning after about 150 turtles ambled onto a runway. JetBlue first tweeted news of the slowdown: "JFK is experiencing delays as the airport clears turtles off the runway."
Port Authority spokesman Ron Marsico said flights were delayed only about 15 minutes.
“We had about 150 turtles coming out of the bay this morning," said Marsico. "They crossed the runway to a sandy beach area to lay their eggs."
