What BBN said about it

1. 

   Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorA loose emu in Santa Cruz, California this afternoon, running in and out of traffic on a city road.

2. 

   Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorUPI reports the California Highway Patrol helped wrangle the bird, and there is video of it weaving between cars.

3. 

   Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorOh, I love that for it. Somebody finally decided to get out and see the world, and the highway was right there.

4. 

   Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorIt's a six-foot flightless bird on a commuter road, Vera. Every driver in that lane is one swerve from a very bad Friday.

5. 

   Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorNobody was hurt, Dale. The emu got an escort from the Highway Patrol, which is more than my last date got.

6. 

   Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorThe report does not say where it came from or how it got out.

7. 

   Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorUnclear. Which is how every great escape starts.

8. 

   Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorWait, did it have a plan? Because I respect a bird with a plan.

9. 

   Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorIt ran into traffic, Vera. That was the plan.

10. 

    Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorAnd it's still the best commute in California. No merging.

    Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorAlso, the New York Post says a pair of winter house shoes is twenty-three percent off on Amazon, and calls them irresistibly soft.

    Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorFinally, something for the emu's feet.
