Spirit Airlines News
The short clip shows what looks to be a rat scurrying around in the overhead bin aboard a Spirit Airlines aircraft. Allegedly, the video was taken during a flight from DFW to LAX.
According to this article by the NY Post, the video clip has garnered millions of views on social media after being circulated online. As the article describes, this caused concern online because a pair of rodent feet can be seen resting inside a light fixture on the cabin ceiling. This is reportedly where the crucial electrical wiring runs through the aircraft.
This was cause for concern because people were understandably worried that the rodent might gnaw on the wires. This could potentially risk a malfunction or even a fire, which is a frequent worry in aviation.
