The thought alone will scare the shit out of most people I know.
A real snake was on a plane when it was discovered one of the passengers packed a cobra in his carry-on bag which ended up biting him, International Science Times reports Dec. 5.
The incident happened on Air Egypt last week on a flight from Cairo
to Kuwait with 90 passengers on board. An emergency landing was made in
Al Ghardaqa near the Red Sea -- a resort area in Egypt.
According to the Jordan Times, Senior Egypt Air official, Adli Saad, said the snake's owner was "trying to control the reptile as other passengers were terrified when they saw it crawling under their seats. It was then," Adli added, that his animal attacked."
Once the plane was stopped, the man was let off the plane and the dangerous snake was confiscated. The snake's owner actually refused treatment from the bite. He could face charges for smuggling a real snake on the plane, but no word on that has been released.
After the snake and its owner were off the plane, the flight was back on its way to Kuwait.
Luckily the snake on the plane didn't harm anyone else. Egyptian cobras are known to have enough venom to kill a human in 15 minutes and can kill an elephant in three hours.
