A horse on a cargo plane broke free shortly after takeoff in New York. Staff couldn't get it back to its stall, so the plane returned to the airport. "There's no issue with flying, but we need to go back to New York as we can't re-secure the horse," the pilot was heard saying. Saddled with thousands of pounds of fuel for the transatlantic flight, the plane was forced to dump about 20 tons over the Atlantic before it could safely land back in New York. The flight resumed its journey shortly after the incident and landed in Liege, according to flight tracking website FlightRadar24.
