Rabbit set to be world’s biggest dies on United flight

LONDON: A giant rabbit, destined to be the world’s biggest bunny, died mysteriously on a United Airlines flight to the US, the latest in a slew of public relations nightmares faced by the beleaguered American airline recently. Three-foot Simon died in the cargo section of a Boeing 767 after flying out of Heathrow to a new celebrity owner in the US, The Sun reported. Simon was expected to outgrow his father Darius, whose length of 4ft 4 inches made him the world’s biggest bunny. Simon was healthy when placed in the cargo hold. But Simon was found dead after the plane landed at Chicago’s O’Hare Airport.–PTI
