A Delta flight was delayed after a massive alligator plopped itself on the taxiway of a Georgia airport, according to reports.

Recently unearthed air traffic control audio captured the unusual moment the Delta pilot noticed the lazing gator at the Savannah-Hilton Head International Airport on the evening of March 20, WDSU reported.

“There’s a six-foot gator sitting on his two legs,” the pilot said over the radio.

“Six foot?” the tower controller asked, to which the pilot replied, “Yeah. He’s about six foot.”

“He just laid down,” the pilot added.

Airport crew responded and safely removed the alligator to the airport, then relocated it outside the airport grounds, the outlet reported.

No one was injured during the incident, authorities added. It’s unclear how the alligator managed to wander into the airport unchecked.

Flight operations resumed shortly after the reptile was removed, the outlet said.

A Georgia Democratic candidate for the state Senate came under ridicule over the weekend after a Passover ad published in the Atlanta Jewish Times reportedly featured challah, a leavened bread traditionally avoided during the holiday. The controversy spread on Saturday after Atlanta Journal-Constitution political reporter Greg Bluestein posted about the ad on X. 

Nathalie Kanani is running for Georgia State Senate District 14, and has publicly described herself as a candidate focused on affordability, healthcare, housing, education, and workers’ issues. In a LinkedIn post published about a month ago, she said she had officially qualified to run for the seat.

The issue appears to have stemmed from a holiday greeting in the Atlanta Jewish Times Passover edition, which was published this past week and included a wide range of Passover-themed community content and messages. 

Bluestein wrote on X that a Georgia Senate candidate’s Passover ad in that week’s Atlanta Jewish Times “features challah,” adding, “It’s the thought that counts, I guess.” His post helped push the item into broader political and Jewish social media circles. 

The mockery built quickly. Raw Story, which aggregated the reaction, quoted conservative commentator Jonah Goldberg joking that the image was like serving a “Yom Kippur BLT sandwich,” while progressive commentator Molly Jong-Fast called it “incredible” and added that “Veep was a documentary.” The same report also cited Georgia state Rep. Esther Panitch criticizing the mistake and noting that, as the only Jewish member of the Georgia General Assembly, she was available for “holiday consults.”

During Passover, Jews avoid hametz (leavened grain products), and bread is among the clearest examples of foods excluded from the holiday. Matzah, the flat unleavened bread eaten during Passover, is one of the most recognizable symbols of the festival. 

That made challah, a braided bread commonly associated with Shabbat and other Jewish occasions, an especially awkward choice for a Passover greeting. For many Jewish readers, it signaled a basic misunderstanding of one of Judaism’s best-known observances. 

As of Sunday,  Kanani’s campaign had not issued any publicly visible response in the sources reviewed for this report.

The Georgia Bulldogs have added another prospect to their 2027 recruiting class. Here are the details.

The Georgia Bulldogs are gearing up for their 2026 college football season and are looking to once again reach the College Football Playoff. But while the 2026 season is right around the corner, the Dawgs have already begun diligently working on their 2027 recruiting class.

Georgia’s latest efforts appear to have paid off, as they have just added another commitment to their class. According to reports, offensive lineman Abram Eisenhower has announced his commitment to the Bulldogs and will be joining their 2027 recruiting class.

Eisenhower was heavily pursued by other notable Power Four schools such as, Auburn, South Carolina, and Florida State. But the offensive lineman ultimately chose to continue his athletic career in Athens with the Georgia Bulldogs.

According to 247 Sports, Eisenhower stands at approximately 6-foot-5 and weighs just under 300 pounds. His athletic abilities could provide a massive contribution to the Dawgs once he arrives on campus.

What Abram Eisenhower Brings to the Georgia Bulldogs Offensive Line

Since taking over as Georgia’s head coach in 2026, Kirby Smart and his staff have always made a strong emphasis on possessing an elite offensive line. Adding prospects such as Eisenhower to the team’s future rosters will ensure that the Bulldogs remain dominant within both sides of the lines of scrimmage.

Smart has also placed a strong emphasis on recruiting players within the state of Georgia. Einsenhower himself is a Valdosta, Georgia native. Making him an excellent target for the Bulldogs’ class.

As the offseason continues and the Bulldogs’ 2026 regular season begins, Kirby Smart and the Bulldogs staff will continue to diligently recruit highly touted prospects in hopes of landing another top-5 recruiting class.
