Stowaway Bat Freaks Out Airplane Passengers [VIDEO]
Forget snakes on plane — now we’ve got bats invading our airlines.
Last Friday, passengers on an Atlanta-bound Delta flight felt like they were in an airborne Gotham City when a bat emerged from the cabin, giving travelers quite a start.

The flight returned to its originating airport in Madison, Wisconsin, where a maintenance worker reportedly managed to get the bat out of the plane and back into the wild. The little guy is now earning his frequent-flier miles the old-fashioned way.
One passenger had the foresight to whip out his phone and videotape the ordeal for CNN’s iReport. Take a look:
