Are there Pythons Lurking in Little Pouches in front of your Seats!?

Bizzare things never cease to happen!

Australia's largest carrier, Qantas Airways had to take its Alice Springs to Melbourne, Boeing 737 flight off-service as four slithery pythons that were part of a cargo consignment slipped out of their cage spreading pandemonium all around!

The baby pythons were the Stimsonian variety, 15 centimeters in length and non-venomous. But pythons are pythons and they run a chill down your spine, don't they?

As the airline's staff searched without results, the airline missed two flights which had to be grounded! In the circumstance, the plane was fumigated before putting back into service - only the next day!
