UAL 747 Searched In China After Mice Discovered Onboard

Eight Rodents Found... Some In Pillows...

Perhaps this will slow down the jokes about contaminated Chinese products coming to the US. Reuters reports a Chinese government emergency team rushed onto a United Airlines jet in Beijing, after the crew notified air traffic control Sunday they found evidence of mice onboard the plane.

Over the course of two days, inspectors set traps, and say they eventually found eight mice, some dead. The live ones were sent out for lab analysis.

The good news: None of the mice tested positive for bubonic plague antigens or parasites, and airline officials say there was no damage to the plane's wiring done by the enterprising rodents.

"Our customers on this flight were always safe and unaware of the situation," United spokesperson Robin Urbanski said. The Boeing 747 had flown to Beijing from Washington, DC.

The bad news: The inspectors said they found the mice hiding in pillows... so, flier beware.
