A snake on a plane (cue references here) resulted in a canceled Emirates flight today.
But a lot of news sources I’ve seen have been attaching the video and photo from a snake incident that occurred back in November on a flight to Mexico City.
At a quick glance, this made it look as if the snake was on board with the passengers. Â But I did a double take when looking at my feed because I recognized that snake.
Yes, the snake got a flight canceled, but it was in the cargo hold and was nowhere near passengers.
On Monday, Dubai-based Emirates said that one of its flights from Muscat, Oman, to the U.A.E. was canceled the previous day after a snake was spotted slithering in the cargo hold. No passengers were reportedly aboard the aircraft when the animal was spotted.
So don’t worry. Â There isn’t a snake-on-a-plane epidemic that leads to Samuel L. Jackson levels of terror. Â A snake just got loose in a cargo hold.
Here is the original footage of the wiggly snake from November’s flight.
