Scandinavian Airlines flight makes emergency landing after mouse jumps out of in-flight meal

Passengers reportedly remained calm and the re-route took only a few extra hours

A passenger airplane traveling from Norway to Spain was forced to land after a rodent popped out of one of its in-flight meals.

The Scandinavian Airlines flight — traveling from Oslo to Malaga on Wednesday — was diverted from its route after a critter startled a woman opening her airline-provided food.
