Just when the squirrel menace looked like it might have faded away, an American Airlines flight from Tokyo has been forced to make an emergency landing in Honolulu because a rogue squirrel had managed to sneak on board.

The squirrel emergency was discovered when, on the flight from Tokyo to Dallas, the pilots heard what has been described as a 'skittering'noise in the space above the cockpit.

Subsequent investigations revealed that the noise was caused by an insurgent squirrel that had somehow managed to board the flight...

I don't see why they even had to stop the plane. I would have just sent the air marshal up into the ceiling to quietly take care of the problem.

They're the most accurate marksmen in the world, and I'm sure it gets boring on those flights.

I think if an air marshal can take out a squirrel in the ceiling of a plane, he's more than competent to take out a group of terrorists in the seating areas. I don't have time for unscheduled landings; shoot the thing and keep flying.

Three people were attacked by a squirrel inside a Brevard County pharmacy. One person was bitten eight times.

The crazy story began when a customer was trying to walk into the store and the squirrel latched onto his ankle. He tried to shake it loose and it wouldn't let go. That's when the mayhem began inside the pharmacy.

He may be little, furry and some might think cute, but the squirrel was downright feisty. Even after attacking two customers and an employee, he took on the Animal Control officer...

A second attack by a suspected member of the Squirrel Liberation Army:

A squirrel went on the attack in a San Jose elementary school Wednesday, bloodying an 11-year-old girl and a parent in a slashing, biting assault and injuring a second grown-up before making its escape...

The attack occurred as a classroom of first-graders prepared to go on a field trip around 8:30 a.m. Two parent chaperones were standing in the room when the squirrel ran in and clawed its way up one of the adult's legs, Ector said...

Reports of a Squirrel Uprising in the USA:

The Big Squirrel Uprising of 2007 is now underway

Squirrels are creating havoc nationwide, in fact, although the incidents are scattered. But when the stories are gathered together, a clear pattern emerges, one worthy of Alfred Hitchcock.

The squirrels have gone kamikaze, sacrificing themselves for the Greater Squirrel Good...
