A KLM plane of passengers bound for the Caribbean didn’t have a choice of their in-flight entertainment when they had to be grounded after a massive rat stowed aboard, as seen in a spine-tingling video taking off online.
“[It’s] very unfortunate for the passengers who had to experience this,” a KLM representative told Dutch rag RTL News.
The Airbus A330 was slated to fly from Amsterdam in the Netherlands to Aruba before continuing on to Bonaire on December 10.
This flight plan crashed and burned after an unexpected stowaway was spotted scurrying about the cabin, Aviation24 reported.
In the revolting clip, the varmint is seen clambering along the rail as passengers cry out in shock, like a scene straight out of a plague barge.

Agreed, thanks for the insight.
“Some species of snakes eat rats. Let one or two of those loose on the plane.”
Saw a Warner Brothers cartoon made back in the 80’s on that. Release snakes, then mongoose to eat the snakes, then lion to scare off the mongoose, then elephant to scare off the lion, then rat to scare off the elephant. Circle of life.

Ha.
Insatiable appetite.
Movie producer on the plane phoned his aide: “Got a great idea. We combine the old Willard plot with a cannibal angle and make a thinly disguised life of JB Pritzker movie. Actor’s face dissolves into the rat one like Lon Chaney in The Wolf Man. Can’t fail.”
“Hey, if you’re gonna get stranded Aruba is the place.”
They weren’t stranded. They got an extra night on Aruba on KLM.
Rats On A Plane
I cant believe any one goes to Aruba after they allowed vanderslut to get away with murder
Unless you’re Natalie Holloway.
I’d go see it. It would be the first movie I’ve gone to a theater to see since Titanic.
The new Bubonic Plague. Lock it down. Phase 2.
No prob 👍
Was I upset? You bet I was.
And there was not a single person on the plane with the hue so to kill the stupid thing?
Adam Schiff’s so damn cheap that he snuck onto the plane rather than pay for a seat. Typical scumbag Democrat. . .
You can’t just stomp out a rat on an airplane.
Can you imagine the reaction?
The only good rat is a dead rat.
I would be happy to stomp a rat to death... although. Now days, it would probably be a hate crime.
I HATE rats
I started volunteering at the food pantry, sometimes
we find that some varmint, likely a rat, has chewed
thru the cardboard for a ‘lucky charms’ find. Rest
assured whatever is leftover usually goes to the local
hog farmer.
Of one thing I’m certain, most of them get away or
stow away with no one normally the wiser. Sure it
could be catastrophic if chewed thru vital plane wiring,
but most of that vital stuff usually gets backup
redundancies and/or is detected before the worst outcome.
Last what would Michael Jackson say, it could be one
of Ben’s descendants!?
