In a bizarre incident, panic erupted at the famous Dubai International Airport after a bear escaped from an Iraqi Airways plane's cargo and left the passengers terrified. Dubai International Airport which is considered to be one of the safest & busiest is the center of lakhs of tourists every day and a bear escaping has garnered global headlines. In fact, the Dubai Airport bear video is also doing rounds on social media which has left netizens in shock. The incident took place on Saturday when a bear broke out from a crate onboard a passenger plane at the Dubai airport. As per reports, after the bear escaped at Dubai Airport, panicked passengers were forced to stay grounded as specialists rushed to the hold to tranquillise the escaped beast.
Dubai Airport video shows airport staff trying to calm the bear who had escaped the plane. The bear can be seen roaming in the cargo freely before the experts arrive. Now, Dubai International Airport Bear Video has gone viral and the Iranian Prime Minister has reportedly an investigation in the row. As per reports, Iraq’s Prime Minister has ordered an investigation into how a bear escaped from its crate in the cargo hold of an Iraqi aircraft as it was due to depart from Dubai airport, leaving passengers terrified over the delay and causing a stir on social media.
Interestingly, a newswire quoted Iraqi Airways which stated that it wasn’t to blame for the bear’s escape and that the aircraft’s crew had worked with authorities in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), which dispatched specialists to sedate the animal and remove it from the plane. Iraqi Airways further stated that procedures to transport the bear were carried out in accordance with the law and with procedures and standards approved by the International Air Transport Association (IATA). Reports suggest that the bear was being flown from Baghdad to Dubai. However, Dubai airport viral video suggests otherwise as a person speaking on the clip said that the aircraft was an hour late for its trip to Baghdad and that passengers were being asked to disembark until the issue was resolved. Notably, after the break-out, the captain allegedly was forced to apologise to disgruntled passengers over the delay.
An Iraqi Airways official was quoted by a newswire who confirmed that the bear was transported to the Iraqi capital. It is pertinent to mention here that the official reportedly refused to answer the name of the owner for whom a bear was transported as the matter is currently under investigation and he was not allowed to talk about the matter. Notably, keeping predatory animals as pets in Iraq – especially in Baghdad – has become popular among wealthy residents.
