Kicker: Flight of the mosquitos

MARY REICHARD, HOST: Last week, a flight from Guadalajara to Mexico City was delayed for more than two hours, because an infestation of mosquitoes was on board!

AUDIO: Spraying, then clapping and cheering, then “Oh, my eyes!” Then whistling.

Oh, my eyes and lungs! Anyway, the pesky annoyances dissipated at last, after flight attendants just turned off the lights.
