Passengers on a Thai AirAsia flight from Bangkok to Phuket experienced a real shock when they found a live snake in the upper compartment of the plane just during the flight.
At the same time, passengers reacted differently to the unusual ticket: people who were sitting closer to the snake hurried to run away, while others, on the contrary, came closer to record the reptile on video. Later, one of the crew members tried to catch the snake in an empty plastic bottle from under the water – thus the reptile was moved to a garbage bag, writes The Independent.
The incident took place on January 13, 2024, shortly before the plane was due to land in Phuket, and the video instantly went viral on social media. “My worst horror” – this is how the user of the X social network with the nickname Mothership commented on the video.
After the plane landed, it was thoroughly searched – no other snakes were found. How the reptile got on board is currently unknown.
