USA-based United Airlines is facing yet another PR disaster - a giant rabbit has perished on one of its transatlantic flights.

The 90-centimetre-long continental giant rabbit - named Simon - died en route from London Heathrow to O’Hare airport in Chicago, USA. The carrier now faces possible legal action over the loss. 

 

A United spokesperson confirmed the airline is reviewing the incident, which comes less than three weeks after a video showing a passenger being dragged off a United Express flight went viral and sparked a media storm.
