Recently a Scandinavian Airlines flight traveling from Norway to Spain was forced to make an emergency landing in Copenhagen, Denmark after a mouse scurried out of a passengers in-flight meal. A passenger said the situation was surprisingly calm. All the travelers were later flown to the Spanish city of Malaga on a different plane without further incidents.
The emergency landing was part of SAS company procedures as the mouse posed a safety risk on board. As the photo below shows, rodents can chew through electrical wiring, making them strictly forbidden on most airlines.
