11:39 AM PT — Spirit Airlines tells TMZ … “We are aware of the video and are taking steps to address this matter.”
Someone might want to release snakes on this Spirit Airlines flight … ’cause they might catch the rat scurrying around the jet and freaking out passengers!
Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.
Check out this clip taken on a Spirit flight from Dallas to Los Angeles, which appears to show a rat running above an overhead bin during the approximately 3-hour flight.
The rat’s feet can be seen through the opaque glass with light illuminating its snout … lording over the airplane populace while a group of people film it.
Passengers can be heard calling the rambunctious rodent a “super rat” during the clip … which ends when the rat darts away out of the light.
It’s unclear what flight this was exactly … but, this incident reportedly took place last week. Sounds like the plane didn’t have to stop and call an exterminator, either.
Obviously, the “Snakes on a Plane” jokes popped up online almost immediately … though Samuel L. Jackson wasn’t onboard to rid the flight of the pest, as far as we know.
Maybe this rat just wanted a chance to hit big in Hollywood like Mickey Mouse … though he may not enjoy the rat race in the City of Angels!
We’ve reached out to Spirit for more info on their stowaway … so far, no word back.
