Pigs might fly....

A KLM flight (KL 685) from Amsterdam to Mexico City was diverted
to Bermuda on Sunday because of an obnoxious odour from the
cargo compartment which rendered flying conditions in the
cockpit rather difficult... the cause was found to be a cargo of
100 pigs that had been loaded by some nimrod of a load master
into a passenger plane instead of a cargo plane.

Another animal related incident occurred on TAP flight TP 1865
from Lisbon to Ponta Delgada on November 17; this time the
flight was not diverted as the problem was not discovered until
after a normal landing. A cage full of hamsters in transit to a
pet store broke open in flight and all the critters escaped. The
plane had to be grounded until all the hamsters were rounded up;
hamsters are, of course, rodents and the situation was actually
serious... the creatures may well have decided to gnaw upon the
aeroplane's wiring and as a result it had to be carefully
inspected for any damage. I have not seen the follow up so I
don't know when or if the plane returned to service.
