A Delta Air Lines flight at Kennedy International Airport bound for London Heathrow Airport was delayed and the passengers were switched to another plane Sunday night after someone reported seeing an onboard intruder: a mouse in the cabin.

The 147 passengers had waited for about half an hour for Flight 001 to leave the gate when a crew member announced that the mouse sighting meant the plane would have to be cleared. The passengers were escorted off the Boeing 767 and booked on another airplane, said Carlos Santos, a Delta spokesman. Mr. Santos said the airplane was being inspected to determine whether a mouse was actually on the plane.

At least they have new rules so the passengers aren't stuck on there forever...

And I bet the mouse-sighter felt pretty stupid about bringing it up....

shoot. i thought this thread was like a macho mouse dressed like Che Guevara standing in the runway with a tiny beret and ammo belts across his tiny, hairy chest

Seriously. Buck up, people. That might have been Fidel's grandson, going to visit his ancestors.

Plus, I bet our ancestors, who crossed the Atlantic in mouse and rat filled ships, are getting a huge Christmas guffaw out of this.

Fidel, or Feivel?

Fidel was the mouse in A Cuban Tail, Feivel was the mouse in An American Tail. They both wore similar hats, so that might have been confusing.

Oh hah! Huh. Feivel.

Huh, so those people stuck in planes for hours on the tarmac, over in that other plane thread, could have gotten out if they just said they saw a mouse?

Heh. Just remember that the next time you're stuck on a plane.

How is Misha still up? Is she up late or early?

I hear ya.
