Ammon News - An aircraft has reportedly been grounded for the past five days after more than 130 hamsters in the hold managed to escape their cages.
Respected Portuguese daily Correio da Manga says maintenance workers have been trying to round up the power cable-eating rodents since the mass escape on Tuesday but 16 are still on the loose.
Baggage handlers are said to have discovered the cages the animals were in had been damaged and 132 of them were roaming around the cargo hold when the £83 million Airbus 320 touched down in the Azores archipelago capital Ponta Delgada on Sao Miguel Island.
