When you’re booking a flight with Spirit Airlines, you’re making the choice to trade comfort for a much cheaper flight and LOTS of unpleasantness.\u00a0 But this is next level unpleasant.<\/p>\n
On a Spirit Airlines flight on Friday from Charlotte, North Carolina to Newark, New Jersey, somehow a LIVE BAT got loose and started flying around the cabin.\u00a0 It’s not clear where it came from, but eventually someone managed to trap it in the bathroom.<\/p>\n

They also ordered the man to return to the scene, retrieve the fridge with his bare hands and dispose of it correctly. The police made sure to capture it all on camera as a\u00a0video shows two men struggling to push and pull the fridge back up a cliff.<\/p>\n In another\u00a0Tweet, police said that as a result of their investigation, the waste management company which employed the man would be facing sanctions for failing to properly dispose of their old refrigerators.<\/p>\n ______________________________________________________________________________<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Stargazers are in for a treat as the annual Perseid meteor shower is set to dazzle the night sky. The Perseid meteor shower will peak on Monday night into Tuesday morning, causing over 90 shooting stars per hour.<\/p>\n The Perseid meteor shower has been going on for the last month but will hit its peak now when it enters the heaviest debris field. According to astronomer Gary Boyle, the show will be visible from all angles and at all hours of the night.<\/p>\n \u201cIt will peak throughout the entire night, it\u2019s not a specific time. Pretty well it starts at 10 p.m., right until sunrise,\u201d Boyle explained. \u201cThe incoming meteors vaporize in the upper atmosphere, north, south, east and west.
