Watch: Pigeons flying through cabin disrupt Delta flight out of MSP
It reads like the tepid first draft for an airborne Samuel L. Jackson thriller. A Delta flight headed to Madison from Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport was disrupted by pigeons on a plane. On Saturday, May 24, two pigeons made their way into the main cabin of Delta Flight 2348, causing no small amount of chaos. Tom Caw, a passenger on the flight, posted a video of the incident to Instagram, saying they heard another passenger inform a flight attendant that there was a pigeon on board. The pilot got on the intercom and "said he had no experience with this situation." They returned the plane to the gate, and staff removed the pigeon. However, back on the runway, another interloping bird was discovered. "Pilot said when he radioed the control tower about us coming back due to a pigeon, the guy said that was a first for him," Caw wrote on Instagram. "Pilot told him it was the second time for him—the first being half an hour earlier." Delta issued an apology for the situation, even though it's not clear how the airline could have done anything about it. "Delta appreciates the careful actions of our people and our customers to safely remove two birds from the aircraft prior to departure, and we apologize to our customers for the delay in their travel," the company tells Bring Me the News in a statement. The flight, which had 119 passengers and five crew members, arrived in Madison just 56 minutes later than it was scheduled, according to a Delta representative. That's a pretty good turnaround for a flight with two separate pigeon incidents.

Bizarre Celebrity Encounters TikTok
Typically, when someone has a celebrity encounter, it's in a setting that one would expect to find famous people, whether it be a movie set, a fan convention, or even on vacation in luxurious locations. But, we tend to forget that underneath all that fame, celebrities still have to go to the grocery store, their local coffee shop, and even the bathroom... That's why when TikTok user @idkjor asked, "I'm bored. Tell me about your most insane celeb interaction.

Samuel L. Jackson Remembers The Cheeky Rule He Learned About 'The A-- You Have To Kiss' While Working On Die Hard 3, And It's A Good Note For Anyone
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. In Hollywood, some actors have reputations for being great to work with, and others… do not. Samuel L. Jackson, according to most accounts, is one of the good ones. He says he really tries to be nice to everybody on the movie set, too, because doing so is easy, and because he knows there's a possibility he'll get paid back for it later. In a video posted to Instagram by Masterclass, Jackson relays a sign that he saw while working on Die Hard With A Vengeance. The film was one of the actor's biggest roles at the time, a co-lead alongside Bruce Willis, and he says there was a poster on the wall in the office that he took to heart. He explained… I remember there was a sign on the wall in the Die Hard office that I never forgot that said 'Be careful of the toes you step on today, for they could be connected to the ass you have to kiss tomorrow.' So I've been nice to PAs to everybody and everything else. And some of those PAs became producers and gave me jobs. It's an idea that we've certainly all heard before, but I've never heard it put quite this way. While there's a bit of a self-serving nature to it all, it doesn't mean you can't be genuinely nice to other people. It's a lesson we can all learn that being nice is often just easier, it never hurts, and it might help. There have been those times when actors and crew haven't always gotten along. Christian Bale once famously berated somebody on the set of Terminator: Salvation. Hugh Grant has admitted to losing his temper in a similar fashion. Tom Cruise famously laid into some of the crew of Mission: Impossible for violating pandemic protocols. While these may have all been outliers for the actors, the fact that we know about them says something, and can certainly change the perception of a performer. Having a reputation as an actor who's great to work with is always ideal. Samuel L. Jackson says following this simple rule has absolutely come back to him as he's gotten jobs from producers that liked him because he was nice to them when they were much lower on the org chart. The beloved Die Hard sequel was a big role for the actor, but Samuel L. Jackson's best roles would all come later. He likely took this lesson to heart at just the right time. In the end, Jackson simply sees it as a variation on the Golden Rule. Try to make sure everybody has a good day, because you want to have a good day. He said… Everybody's there doing the same job. So you show up, and you try and make the day as pleasant as you want the day to be for you. Movie-making is an incredibly collaborative business. There are all kinds of people doing all sorts of jobs on set. All of them are necessary, and they're all working toward the same goal. There's no reason not to just be nice to the people you're working with. Hopefully, we can all learn this lesson from Samuel L. Jackson.
