I mean yeah, that's disgusting, but why land the plane over it? It'd be one thing if it was running aisle to aisle biting people's faces, but I don't think that was the case.
Didn't read the article, but there was the worry mentioned in the title, that the rodents could have messed with the electrical wiring.
Can anybody explain why mice like wires so much? Do they look like worms to them or do they have a electrocution kink or can they sense electricity somehow or something? Genuinely interested.
Nesting.
The materials make decent nests. That's what I was told, anyway.
Edit: I was also told it was just to chew things in general, and we only see that they chew wires because it causes problems.
Sounds plausible, both. I also like to just chew things.
