A little mouse made for a big delay on a British Airways flight from London to San Francisco.

The passengers were all buckled up and ready to go when the crew told them that a mouse-spotting meant they couldn’t take off.

The crew joked that the mouse couldn’t enter U.S. airspace without a passport, and told everyone they needed a whole new plane. That meant a four-hour delay.
