A mouse was spotted on a flight departing from Stockholm for Chicago, causing the plane to be grounded and 250 people bumped to other flights. The wily little fellow dodged numerous mouse traps. Company spokesman Anders Lindstroem told the Tribune, "For safety reasons, you don't board when there's a mouse on board."
Apart from disturbing passengers, a mouse could creep among cables and chew through wiring, Lindstroem said, adding that a complete inspection would be carried out once the mouse was caught.
Well, at least it wasn't snakes?
