Turtle invasion delays flights
Updated on 10 July 2009
A runway at New York's Kennedy Airport had to be shut down after 78 turtles emerged from a nearby bay and crawled onto the tarmac.
The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey said ground crews rounded up the wayward reptiles in about 35 minutes and deposited them back in the water, farther from airport property.
The shutdown disrupted flight schedules, with delays climbing to more than an hour.
