This news is truly heartbreaking.

A service vehicle accidentally killed two dogs belonging to John Travolta and his family last Thursday at Bangor International Airport in Maine.

Responding to inquiries, the city ultimately issued the following statement:

“At approximately 1 a.m. on Thursday, May 13, 2010 an airplane carrying members of the John Travolta family landed at BIA. While there, two small dogs were taken for a walk by someone who is not a family member.”

“An airport service pickup truck was approaching the airplane to service the airplane and did not see the dogs. Unfortunately, the dogs were struck and killed. The airport is investigating the accident. Out of respect for the family’s privacy the city will make no further comment.”

“The airport takes safety very seriously,” said airport director Rebecca Hupp earlier today. “Clearly, this is an unfortunate accident. Our deepest sympathies are with the family.”

Travolta and wife Kelly Preston own a home on Islesboro off the coast of Maine.

    This is so sad. It’s very difficult to lose pets. I wonder how the person walking the dogs didn’t see the truck. I couldn’t imagine going through, especially since he lost his son recently as well. This must be so hard on his family. :(

    I am sad to hear of the untimely death of dogs of John. When you have a pet, you start loving them as your family members and do anything for them. And the death of the pet is so shocking and painful as your family members death. May God give strength to his family to bear this tragedy.

    Simply horrible. On the bright side . . . Maybe the dogs were needed on the other side to be with Jett . . .

    I hope he adopts rescue dogs rather than buying designer dogs like his BFF Oprah.
    Condolences Travolta’s!

    That is sad! But, I hope he doesn’t take this too hard. Maybe next time he should get bigger dogs so they can be easily seen. Small dogs like that shouldn’t be walking through a place where there a lot of moving vehicles. Still, I hope that he feels better soon!
