Plane Makes Emergency Landing After Cat Attacks Pilot Mid Air In Sudan

In a strange incident, a Sudanese flight bound to the capital of Qatar, Doha had to make an emergency landing at Khartoum International Airport after an angry cat started attacking the pilot in the cockpit. The incident happened on February 24, 2021, shortly after the flight took off.  The flight was of Sudan’s Tarco Airlines. Nobody could find out how exactly the cat sneaked into the airline. It is being thought that it might have entered the plane the night before when it was parked at a hangar on the Khartoum airport. Probably, the cat began to feel trapped inside the cabin and being annoyed, pounced on the pilot.
