How greenish snake forced passenger plane to make emergency landing (video)
Passengers on a commercial flight in Mexico were given an unexpected shock when a snake crawled into the cabin reminiscent of a scene out of the Hollywood thriller “Snakes on a Plane.”
Carrier Aeromexico confirmed that a live snake was found on board a flight Sunday afternoon in a statement released to Publimetro. Flight 231, which makes the two-hour trip once a day from Torreon, Coahuila, to Mexico City was forced to make an expedited landing so animal control could come aboard to collect the reptile.
In a short video posted to Facebook, a greenish snake emerged from the ceiling behind an overhead luggage compartment and then partially dropping down into the cabin.
Aeromexico said that the plane was given priority landing in Mexico City, where workers “secured the reptile.” No passengers reported any injuries due to the incident but Passenger, Indalecio Medina wrote on Facebook that he and another passenger caught the snake using a blanket and magazines before emergency personnel arrived.
The airline says it’s investigating how the snake got into the airplane and is taking measures to avoid it happening in the future.
