A raccoon recently dropped out of the ceiling, causing a commotion at LaGuardia Airport.

A clip of the incident has since gone viral, which shows the animal hanging from the ceiling at a Spirit Airlines gate. Customers scream and a dog barks as the raccoon drops to the floor and scurries around. The video ends with a man holding a clear plastic receptacle, likely to catch the critter.

That’s the second animal-involved incident Spirit has dealt with in recent days. Last month, passengers noticed a rat on a flight from Dallas, Texas to Los Angeles, California. A video shows the rodent running along an overhead bin, with its feet and snout visible through an illuminated glass panel. Passengers laughed, calling it a “super rat."
