Air Canada Flight Canceled After Large Rat Spotted In Overhead Luggage

I can’t say I have ever seen or even heard of flight being canceled for this:

HUNDREDS of passengers were ordered off a plane bound for London from Ottawa moments before it was due to take off after a huge rat was discovered on board.

The Boeing 767 was waiting to taxi down the runway when a passenger spotted the rodent in an overhead locker, The Sun reports.

The captain of Air Canada flight AC888 immediately ordered all 205 passengers off the plane so a pest control team could try to catch the rat.

But despite an intensive search, the rodent could not be found. The flight was cancelled, with passengers spending the night at a hotel near Ottawa’s Macdonald-Cartier International Airport.  [NewsCore]
