SAS Flight Forced To Make Emergency Landing After Passenger Finds Live Mouse In Meal

A Scandinavian Airlines (SAS) flight en route from Oslo, Norway, to Malaga, Spain, had to make an emergency landing in Copenhagen, Denmark, on Wednesday after a passenger discovered a live mouse in their in-flight meal. The unexpected incident prompted the crew to divert the flight as a safety precaution, according to SAS spokesperson Oystein Schmidt.Upon landing, the aircraft underwent a thorough inspection to locate the mouse, as reported by the BBC. Airlines typically have stringent regulations concerning rodents on board, due to the risk of them chewing through vital electrical wiring. Addressing the situation, Schmidt stated, “This is something that happens extremely rarely. We have established procedures for such situations, which also include a review with our suppliers to ensure this does not happen again.”One passenger, Jarle Borrestad, took to Facebook to share his unusual experience. He wrote, "Believe it or not. A lady next to me at SAS opened the food and jumped a mouse out. Now we have turned around and landed at CPH [Copenhagen Airport] for flight changes." He humorously added that he pulled his socks over his pant legs to prevent the mouse from crawling up. Despite the bizarre occurrence, Borrestad observed that passengers remained calm, showing little sign of distress during the incident.After a delay of a few hours, passengers continued their journey to Malaga on a replacement aircraft

Take a Look at the Facebook Post: This unusual event comes just days after another rodent-related disruption, when a train service in southern England was halted due to two squirrels refusing to leave a carriage. The Great Western Railway spokesperson confirmed, “We can confirm that the 0854 Reading to Gatwick was terminated at Redhill after a couple of squirrels boarded the train at Gomshall without tickets, breaching railway byeclaws. We attempted to remove them at Redhill, but one refused to leave and was returned to Reading to bring an end to this nutty tail.”
