So back in the summer of 2017 I was in Houston on a connecting United flight. I watched a United Pet safe van drop off a dog and leave it on the hot tarmac for 22 minutes. The temp outside was 106F. Can you imagine how hot it was that day for the dog inside the crate. This is nothing new for United!

Wednesday's flight bound for Haneda Airport near Tokyo left Yamaguchi Airport in Western Japan shortly after 8 am JST (2300 GMT) but made an emergency landing at Boeing spokesman Marc Birtel, told Reuters: "We've seen the reports, we're aware of the events and are working with our customer". http://my.chicagotribune.com/#section/545/articl
