    The penguin is okay, that’s the only thing important here.

      And that’s why I came here before potentially seeing something that would make me sad in the article.

      Apparently the penguin wanted a say in whether or not it was being deported

    The penguin, which had been placed in the box and on the lap of a passenger, slid off and knocked the pilot’s controls just after take-off from **Bird Island **

    The authority said that “the lack of secure containment for the penguin” was responsible for creating the “dangerous situation”.Hahaha

    I’m going to be a pedant, and point out it was an unsecured box, with a penguin in it, which knocked the controls.

      Yeah but would the box have slipped without the penguin in it? We need more penguin box experiments I think.
