Last August, a bat flew through a cabin, which contained 53 passengers, on a flight from Wisconsin. This had many concerned about possible a rabies infection. However, as soon as the plane landed the bat escaped so officials were unable to determine whether or not the bat was carrying the deadly virus. The government released the incident report giving the public a little more information about the situation. This unexpected incident has many researchers stating that health officials should be better prepared in the future to deal with incidents such as this.
The researchers stated, “Although a bat, or any wildlife, aboard a commercial airliner is unlikely, public health practitioners should be prepared to respond to potential exposures to rabies and other infectious agents, including during air travel.”
The flight was on its way to Atlanta from the Dane County Regional Airport when it was discovered that a bat had been trapped on the plane. The discovery had many ducking in horror and they were lucky enough to trap the bat in the lavatory. After the plane landed, passengers were unloaded off the aircraft and the maintenance crew was sent in to remove the bat. However, they were unable to capture the animal and it “flew out the cabin door, through the airport terminal, and was last seen exiting the building through automatic doors”. Once the crew searched the plane again and stated that there were no other bats, fifteen of the original passengers reboarded while the remaining made other travel arrangements.
The report stated, “Shortly after takeoff, a bat flew from the rear of the aircraft through the cabin several times before being trapped in the lavatory.”
Researchers stated that the “most common way for people to get rabies in the U.S. is through contact with a bat. Most bats don’t have rabies, but the ones that are seen during the day, when bats are not normally active, or are encountered where they are not usually seen (such as in economy-class seating) just might be rabid”.

During a flight to Las Vegas, a JetBlue pilot, Clayton Osbon, had a meltdown that resulted in an emergency landing. Several passengers had to subdue the pilot to ensure that he would not spread anymore panic while the plane was in the air. Once the plane landed, the pilot was taken to the closest hospital surrounded by his family and loved ones. The judge recently ordered a
Timeshares are a huge liability and has been hated by consumers for over a decade. Those who were drawn in by the once in a lifetime deal soon began to regret their decision. A timeshare is a life-long commitment. Not only will you as the purchaser have to suffer but once you pass it will be given to your heirs. One man, David Suder, has been unable to sell his parent’s ocean-front timeshare. Within the past year, he was so fed up that he tried to give it away for free. However, no one in this day and age is willing to inherit such a money-sucking leech.
