November 22, 2004Stowaway mouse costs airline $100,000
A mouse that stowed away on a Chinese passenger jet in Singapore ended up costing the airline $100,000, a news report said on Monday. The mouse sneaked on board the China Eastern Airlines jet while it was preparing to fly from Singapore to Shanghai, according to the Hong Kong edition of the China Daily. It was only discovered when it began scurrying around the plane mid-flight and, fearing it might carry a virus or damage wiring, Shanghai's airport authority grounded the plane on its arrival. Airline staff spent two days chasing the mouse and eventually caught it with a trap, the newspaper said. More mousie news here Comments
