At the Orlando International Airport, the alligator walked along the runway, delaying the movement of the aircraft. One of the passengers videotaped his walk.
Anthony Velardi, who flew home from Washington, published in Facebook a ten-second roller on which the alligator is walking on the concrete pavement towards the pond.
"Only in Florida ... an alligator detained our plane Spirit Airlines, walking along the runway. Just another adventure in Horizonless Nomad, Velardi wrote.
Employees of Orlando Airport wrote that the pilots had to "stop on the taxiway and give way to a local for a morning walk."
Velardi added that the pilot asked the passenger to look out the window.
“He was moving towards the pond. It was important to him,” he said. - Looks like someone had it there TSA PreCheck».
That's so Florida! Pilots of a Spirit flight departing MCO today had to pause on the taxiway and give right of way to a local resident out for a morning stroll. Passengers caught a rare glimpse of an alligator trudging from one pond to the next. ? pic.twitter.com/xK12ydomLX

“Florida has always been known for its strange stories, but lately there have been a lot of stories about alligators attacking people, and now this. I'm originally from Florida, and even that shocked me when the alligator was on the runway, stopping us from getting to the gate,” Velardi said.
On Friday, a woman who walked with her dogs died after the alligator pulled her into the lake.
Earlier last week, a crocodile fatally attacked a pastor when he baptized parishioners on a lake.
In June, 2016, the baby from Nebraska, who came with his parents to Disney World, pulled an alligator into the lake.
According to the Florida Commission, over the past decade there has been no significant upward trend in alligator attacks. From 1948 to 2017, the Florida year saw 401 an unprovoked bite incident, and 24 of them turned out to be fatal.
