- pavel_lishin 2y ago> "This is something that happens extremely rarely," Mr Schmidt said. Well, the front fell off in this case by all means, but it’s very unusual.

- OutOfHere 2y agoWhat's not going to be unusual is that there likely are 10x more mice to be found at the food packaging facility. There is no way that such a problem develops without humans and food inspectors knowing about it with sufficient warning. Someone has been cutting corners and not doing their job.
- mikestew 2y agoWe have established procedures for such situations… Buried somewhere on the Scandinavian Airlines internal Sharepoint site is a MS Word document written by someone who thought it would never again see the light of day.

- bee_rider 2y agoHuh. I guess generally you have to be somewhat careful about spreading animals from one location to another. Never know what invasive species or diseases you might spread. But… I saw in the documentary “Fivel goes west” that we’ve already spread mice everywhere. And they aren’t all that dangerous, right? Probably would have just gone for it…
- jey 2y agoFrom the article: > Airlines usually have strict restrictions involving rodents on board planes in order to prevent electrical wiring being chewed through.
- pavel_lishin 2y agoSurely someone's done studies showing exactly how many wires a mouse could chew through per flight-minute. I want to see that time/risk curve!
- nickpinkston 2y agoMore protein than they usually give you... For real though, we'd all be surprised by the amount of gross stuff going on throughout the ag & food system. At least when I buy fresh brussel sprouts, I can see the holes/larvae in the bad ones.
- kyleee 2y agoWhich to me is somewhat heartening because it makes me think that maybe the veg hasn’t been absolutely soaked in poisons while being grown.
- nickpinkston 2y agoYea, though when the larvae are dead, I think "Were these fumigated?" haha. At least we can wash most of that off.
