Snake on Qantas Plane - Original

Lol.  How that snake got there we'll never know..  Wait a minute, it's Qantas - the "Flying Kangaroo" airplane.  That explains everything!  The uploader had the perfect seat for the capture!  Later into the vid you could see the red battered marks left on the plane by the snake's tail...









Left cairns 6:10am Thursday morning (10 Jan 2013) bound for Port Moresby, Papua New Guinea. About 15mins into the flight a lady passenger had signalled for the Qantas Flight Crew that she had seen a snake on the plane, literally.

To everyones disbelief there was a 3m long snake tucked away under the left wing of the Aircraft holding on for its dear life as we headed towards Papua New Guinea.

The Cabin Crew confirmed it was a snake, the Captain of the aircraft confirmed it was a snake.. and so it was, 'snakes on plane' ! Though it was very saddening to see the snake get battered around as the plane cut through the air, at the same time trying to hold on at -12 Degrees Celsius; when the plane was at its highest cruising altitude.

Poor little guy... he is now in Snake Heaven.
