Dogs Accident Airport
Two dogs that belonged to John Travolta passed away due to an accident on the Bangor International Airport in Maine in May 2010. An unidentified person who was not a member of the Travolta family but “a liaison” for them took the two dogs for a walk. A pickup truck driven by an airport employee was approaching the aircraft when it apparently struck and killed the animals.
