mkz Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 Another reason for Ken to fly with Quantas... From BBC. Published Thursday, 16 April 2009 http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/asia-pacific/8001644.stm Snakes escape on Quantas flight. An Australian airliner was grounded after four baby pythons escaped from their container in the aircraft's hold. The snakes, just six inches long, were among 12 Stimson's pythons being flown from Alice Springs to Melbourne. At first it was thought the reptiles may have been eaten by the other snakes, but this was discounted after they were weighed on landing. Passengers were transferred to other aircraft. The jet was fumigated but the snakes' bodies are yet to be found. "They're not endangered so a decision was made to fumigate...if these snakes turn up they will be very much dead snakes," David Epstein of Qantas said. It is not known how the snakes - which can grow up to a metre in length - escaped from their container. They were being transported in the cargo hold of the aircraft in a bag inside a plastic foam box with air holes. The passenger aircraft returned to service on Wednesday.

Ken Gargett Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 read that. six inch pythons on a plane would be the least of worries. and the very kind people at the stumbling wombat upgraded me on the weekend for the flight back from adelaide. that is about the fourth time in a month. we love the good people at the stumbling wombat (at the moment).

FireDigger Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 When I read the title, I thought someone smoked a culebra on a plane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
