HONOLULU (UPI) – A squirrel that stowed away on a Boeing 747 flight from Tokyo to Dallas earned an unscheduled flight to Hawaii, but that was the end of the line.

When the flight crew heard the animal moving around in an overhead bin, the flight was redirected to Honolulu Airport to remove the furry stowaway, the Honolulu Star Bulletin said.

Because of concern that the squirrel could eat vital electrical wiring, the pilots followed standard procedure and notified authorities of the emergency landing.

Wildlife officials spent hours trying to trap the elusive animal once the plane landed.

Squirrels are illegal in Hawaii, and officials were concerned the eastern gray squirrel might have rabies, so the animal’s trek was brought to an abrupt halt — when officials destroyed it.

MIAMI (UPI) — An unidentified woman using a stolen U-Haul led police on a high-speed chase through south Florida Wednesday before eventually being arrested.

In what police have termed a crime of opportunity, the woman leapt into a U-Haul truck in which the owner had left the keys, and led both police and TV helicopters on a wild chase for nearly an hour, the Miami Herald said.

For 42 minutes, the woman smashed into onlookers’ cars and patrol cars in her desperate attempt to escape, all in view of trailing police and media.

After being featured live on the local news — and even chased by the man from whom she stole the truck — the woman had to abandon the truck because the left front tire blew out.

She fled into a supermarket, where police quickly took her into custody, the newspaper said.
