Plane forced to make emergency landing after live mouse ‘jumped’ out of passenger's in-flight meal

Following the emergency landing, the passengers were eventually flown to their original destination on a different aircraft

A flight from Norway's capital, Oslo, was forced to make an emergency landing after a passenger discovered a live mouse in her in-flight meal. The Scandinavian Airlines (SAS) aircraft bound for Malaga, Spain, had to be diverted to Copenhagen, Denmark on Wednesday. A spokesperson for the airline told AFP News agency that the detour was in line with company procedures as the rodent posed a “safety risk.”

Following the emergency landing, the passengers were eventually flown to their original destination on a different aircraft. In the wake of the shocking incident, Jarle Borrestad, who was seated next to the woman who discovered a mouse in her meal, narrated the ordeal on Facebook.

“Believe it or not. A lady next to me here at SAS opened the food and out jumped a mouse. Now we have turned around and landed at CPH [Copenhagen Airport] for flight changes,” the passenger wrote. Borrestad also told BBC News that the situation was not too dramatic and that people “were not stressed at all.”
