Jeez! This type of post is over the top! A bed bug won't kill anyone like a Mesquito does.

That's a rather strange take on my post.

I put it up because it is an interesting and unusual story and also reflects the callous disregard for customers by a major company that is all too often displayed by large firms the world over.

I am relating a news story, nothing else. Sure, I added some editorializing, but I don't think it is any more "over the top" than any other story.

And for what it's worth, news items of various animals and bugs wreaking havoc on airplanes happen all the time.
