"AirTran Flight 421 was leaving the gate at Atlanta's Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport Tuesday when the pilot turned the jet around and told passengers they had to go back.
The reason?
There was a turtle on the plane.
The coin-sized reptile belonged to a 10-year-old girl who ended up having to leave her pet behind in the trash. 
The Helm sisters were in better spirits Wednesday night as they played Wii in the living room of their Milwaukee home, but it was a different story Tuesday.
Ten-year-old Carley was distraught when AirTran officials in Atlanta turned their plane around to kick her tiny turtle "Bug" off the flight.

Thank goodness for one good heart that turned the rest around.
