Meal-Borne Mouse Forces Diversion

[system]

Although the ick factor probably justified it, the surprise appearance of a mouse in a passenger meal on a Scandinavian Airlines flight last week forced an emergency landing for a more practical reason. The wire chewing rodent posed a legitimate threat to the safety of the flight so the passengers spent some time in Copenhagen before continuing to Malaga, Spain from Oslo.

A rare mouse or a mouse served “rare”?

Reminds me of an old joke…that may have actually happened.

“United 123, tower…be advised, there’s a dead coyote on the side of the runway.”

“Tower, United 123. Roger on the coyote, we’ll notify our caterers…”

No charge for the extra meat.

Good point about chewing wiring.

A growing problem with automobiles because manufacturers cheaped on wiring insulation - soy-based is tastier to squirrels.

Guess the microwave means that will be one little mouse which will not breed.
Maybe the caterers were inspired by a certain Ohio town – after all the 'plane was probably full of migrants fleeing the cold north.
