Crocodile on plane kills 19 passengers

[Bill]

A STOWAWAY crocodile on a flight escaped from its carrier bag and sparked an onboard stampede that caused the flight to crash, killing 19 passengers and crew.


The croc had been hidden in a passenger's sports bag - allegedly with plans to sell it - but it tore loose and ran amok, sparking panic.

A stampede of terrified passengers caused the small aircraft to lose balance and tip over in mid-air during an internal flight in the Democratic Republic of Congo.

The unbalanced load caused the aircraft, on a routine flight from the capital, Kinshasa, to the regional airport at Bandundu, to go into a spin and crash into a house.

A lone survivor from the Let 410 plane told the astonishing tale to investigators.

Ironically the crocodile also survived the crash but was later killed with a machete by rescuers sifting through the wreckage.

That croc knew how to 'hide the dantien'. When done well, no can defend.

*edit* - ya know what, not funny....

This is just f-ing sad and stupid.

What an idiot...

[Darth Rock&Roll]

there is no end to the possibilities of stupid when it comes to humans.

If only Samuel Jackson was on that plane...

[DeusTrismegistus]

If it was small enough to be hid in a sports bag why the fuck were they scared of it?

Deus, have you seen how some people react to a rat in the room? We're all ridiculously strong men here so we can't understand the fear these "normies" would have felt on that plane.

Panic killed them, not the croc. And, it's not a matter of being strong. It could have happened to anyone. I'd bet that most of the people didn't even see the animal. Anyway, it would only take 1/2 or less of the passengers running to one side of the plane to unbalance it. If it happened at low altitude or slow speed, then it's even more understandable. It's really tragic that someone was stupid enough to bring a croc on a plane.

Tru dat!

[Chris Fleming]

This would never have happened if he was on the plane.

I feel bad for the croc.
