Rat in flight?
Unwanted traveller in plane:

http://www.ecns.cn/cns-wire/2015/09-16/181377.shtml

"As to how the rat got aboard, health inspectors said it may have got in on a dining cart."

Maybe next time I bring my own food on plane.

Well, they caught the rat in the "dining room", and I've never seen a dining room in a commercial aircraft so I'm safe.

Glad they caught it.

7 cms? My wife says it's a mouse, not a rat. But, yes, it can still chew the wires or carry diseases.

Usually I'm the only rat on board.

I've seen similar rat stories in several threads on FT. I do hope people apply some judgement before clicking links.

"Waiter, there's a rat in my stew!"

"Quiet, sir, or everyone else will be wanting meat also!"

Just to be on the safe side I'd like the RAT to be in operable condition during flights.
