Watch: Giant rat and otter spark chaos on plane when they escape mid-flight
A giant rat and otter sparked chaos on board a flight to Taiwan after escaping from a passenger’s hand luggage in mid-air.
Shocked passengers spotted the rodent en route to the bathroom on Wednesday, sparking a search that also uncovered the otter under a traveller’s seat.
This footage shows the plane thrown into chaos, as VietJet cabin crew battled to recapture the furry creatures.
One passenger who recorded the scene said the incident culminated with a staff member being bitten by the rat, before the crew wrestled the animals into black plastic bags.
