Live Rodent Loose on Aircraft Provokes Emergency Landing

A live rodent forced a Scandinavian Airlines flight to make an emergency landing after it contaminated a passenger’s meal, BBC reported.

During a recent flight from Oslo, Norway to Malaga, Spain, an unidentified woman opened her in-flight meal only for a live mouse to come popping out of the tray. Because the rodent posed a “safety risk,” according to airline spokesperson Oystein Schmidt, the aircraft was forced to make an emergency landing in Copenhagen, Denmark. Passengers were later taken to Malaga on a different plane.
