Local Kansas City NBC TV affiliate KSHB has an investigative report on mice (both live and dead) found inside American Airlines’ planes. (See the video by clicking on “Investigators: Mile High Mice” in the link.) The mouse problem is apparently widespread, both in terms of damage done to equipment, and in terms of rodent feces.

This is the sort of thing that’s probably more widespread across the aviation industry than I would care to know, but I do wonder why an exterminator wasn’t called.

What makes a plane an attractive place for creatures to reside in, anyway? Southwest had a problem with bees, American has mice, what’s next? (Please, please, no “Snakes on a Plane” jokes…)
