Bombay Rats !

A plane travelling from Mumbai to London was forced to turn back mid-flight

after a rat was spotted on board  :-[

         

Air India has said that the plane will be fumigated and the presence of a rodent was being investigated.

Rats occasionally get on board aircraft along with catering and other supplies but can pose a serious technical

as well as a health hazard if they chew through wires.

It is not the first time a rat sighting has been reported on an Air India jet this year, with one of their aircraft

forced to return to New Delhi during a flight to Milan in July because of a rodent.

Earlier in December, an Air India technician was sucked into an aircraft engine and killed at Mumbai airport.

Four militants and at least two soldiers have been killed in an attack

on an Indian air force base near the Pakistani border

             

The attack came days after the Indian and Pakistani leaders, Narendra Modi and Nawaz Sharif,

met in Lahore to launch a surprise peace initiative.

Why did it turn back, just for the shake of a rat? Plane fuels cost thousands of dollars per flight... I'm so confused

Rats carry all kinda diseases :

they may also bring the Caste system to London  ::LOL::
