the essentials On January 13, a snake was found in mid-flight on an AirAsia plane in Thailand. Enough to cause a few cold sweats for the passengers even though the animal was able to be captured by the flight attendants.
A nice scare for the passengers. On January 13, a surprise guest showed up on the AirAsia flight departing from the Thai capital Bangkok, heading for the island of Phuket. In a video that went viral on social media this week, a snake can be seen walking quietly above the luggage compartments.
The steward’s composure
The Malaysian daily The Star, which takes information from local media, reports that the animal was discovered shortly before landing in Phuket. We also see a steward, in the images, trying to capture the reptile by putting it in a plastic bottle. Without success. It was only a few moments later that he managed to place the snake in a plastic bag.
Contacted by CNN, the airline stressed that it was a “very rare incident that can occur from time to time in any aircraft.” And an AirAsia manager clarified that the crew was “well trained” to handle this type of event. Once on the ground, the aircraft was inspected and thoroughly cleaned by competent safety teams. No other snakes were found.
