Airline Passengers Delayed By Roachesar[/h1]
“We’ve heard about airline delays causes by a number of factors; mechanical issues, weather problems, traffic gridlock at the airport. But earlier this month, one DC resident and regular flier faced a type of airline delay she has never encountered before…
Miami to Reagan National Airport, an American Airlines flight Alissa Kempler says she will never forget… She says “At the end of the day I think it ended up being an hour and a half delay.”…
The flight crew was dealing with a group of unwelcome passengers, an unusual delay: Delayed by roaches.
A stewardess told Kempler “There are roaches on the plane.” She found out “there are actually 50 roaches and they found a colony on a curtain between first class and the pilots.” Kempler says “we spent the next two and a half hours or at least I did, curled up in my seat thinking ‘how many cockroaches are going to be in my bag when I get out?’”…
If you are worried that a cockroach or other pest could have invaded your luggage, the National Pest Management Association recommends these steps:
When you get home, take all of your clothes out of your luggage and wash them in hot water.
Also take a close look at your suitcase. If you see any kind of pest or dropping, vacuum out your suitcase, including the pocket area.” (via wusa9.com) by Jessica Doyle
