    I guess they didn't realize that the special was in honor of the Survivor Series!

    From MSNBC:
    Bizarre News: Rat stirs panic on flight to Egypt
    By BridgeNews--London, June 14, 2000


    RAT STIRS PANIC ON KUWAIT AIRWAYS FLIGHT TO EGYPT: A stowaway rat stirred panic on a Kuwait Airways flight from Kuwait to the Egyptian capital Cairo, officials at Cairo airport said Wednesday.

    Some of the 176 passengers aboard the plane screamed and shuddered as the rat ran along the aisles of the plane during much of the four-hour flight late Tuesday, the officials said.

    The pilot informed the airport authorities here, who sprayed insecticide in the aircraft and sealed it shut for two hours, they added. There was no word yet on whether they got the rat.

    I'm kind of wondering about the way they went after the rat. Most people would use a trap. -- or a net, considering it was confined in the passenger compartment. What good would spraying insecticide do? Kill the Rat's fleas?
