You couldn't make it up dept. no.65: Bugs Bunny lives!

[fpb]

Yesterday, Milan's second airport, Linate, was closed for hours due to an infestation of hares. The animals had to be caught alive and removed to a neighbouring sanctuary. That paralyzed half the air traffic of Italy's leading economic and financial centre. Interesting sense of priorities.

I saw this on the news; it was crazy.

Can't you just see Bugs Bunny paralyzing an airport like that? Apparently, however, this is something they do every year, but usually at night. This time, the excess of hares and rabbits forced them to bring out all the volunteers by day.
