It sounds straightforward: you drive to the terminal, hand over your car and keys to staff and, while they park, you relax in an airport bar. Your vehicle is now someone else’s concern until you touch down again at your vacation’s end.But what actually happens after you bid it farewell? Possibly not what you think.

Bull with horns on fire gores man to death at Spanish festival A young Spanish man has been gored to death by a bull with its horns set on fire as part of a local festival.Adrian Martínez Fernández, 24, was buffeted by the half-tonne animal in the town of Vallada in Valencia on Sunday.Footage of the incident showed how the bull, whose horns were set alight as part of a tradition for the annual bull-running festival, gored Mr Martínez as terrified spectators watched just a foot away behind protective railings.Torture is Not Culture, an animal rights group, said the latest death in a bull-running event brought the number of fatalities in these activities to ten this year so far.In 2013, the then conservative government declared bullfighting part of the national heritage which should be protected throughout Spain, effectively blocking any attempts to ban the practice.
