Passengers aboard a Boeing 777 flight from Riyadh were reported given the fright of their lines after 80 mice escaped from a bag. Apparently the mice wreaked havoc on the Saudi Airlines plane with some landing on peoples’ heads. I can’t imagine the scenes as poor passengers tried to get away from the frightened and confused mice.
Joking side though, having 80 mice running around on a passenger jet could be hazardous in such a confined area. In 2003 a mouse famously grounded a Swiss airliner after escaping during transit leading to the cancellation of two flights. That poor little creature was gassed using CO2 but the reports don’t say how the Saudis dealt with their rodent problem.
The other vital missing information is why the passenger was trying to transport 80 mice on an internal flight. I know they eat some strange things in Saudi, but I hope that mice aren’t on the menu!
