Flock of sheep grazes at Tehran airport after engine failure of their Boeing 747

Details are still a bit woolly, but you herd it here first. A 747 freighter full of live sheep made an emergency landing at the airport over the weekend after one of its engines failed. As the aircraft was grounded, its large and grateful flock was released from the discomforts of cattle class to trim the airport’s grass for a few days. Fortunately, the crew were not forced to abandon sheep, and the aircraft was eventually returned to service. All’s wool that ends wool.
