The Curse of O'Hare

As if United Airlines didn't have enough trouble right now we read where a Continental Giant rabbit named Simon died during a flight from Heathrow, London to Chicago. He was only ten months old and could grow to four feet long. The veterinary checkup before departure indicated that Simon was "fit as a fiddle" but he may have hit a few sour notes down in the cargo hold of a 767.
I was recently reminded of U.S. Lines experience carrying cattle to Germany in the 1950s. If we lost a calf in transit we had to save an ear to prove we earned our freight. I hope poor Simon didn't have to suffer that fate.
