- geenew 5y agohey, the steward gets back with his girl, that's a happy ending
- LiquidPolymer 5y agoRemind me of that bat that was cruising around in figure 8’s in the passenger cabin of a jet liner and FREAKING OUT passengers.
- synaesthesisx 5y agoTo be fair, bats can harbor all sorts of viruses (including rabies).

- snoshy 5y agohonestly i'm glad you brought up the reference to the awful censorship for this hilariously terrible movie. it made a mark somehow, and i still remembered (and waited for a reference to) it.
- ameminator 5y agoHahaha I'm just happy there are other people to enjoy these stupid cable TV references with :)

- zxcvbn4038 5y agoIt was a really lousy movie - but I watched it three times just to hear Samuel L. Jackson say that line! :)
- geenew 5y agoa good bad movie. an entertaining movie
- GekkePrutser 5y agoYeah that's the only thing I remember from that movie :) I mean, seriously, the title was the whole plot.
- dhosek 5y agoI remember when I heard about the movie telling my wife about it and she didn't understand. "It's simple: There are snakes. And Samuel L. Jackson. And they're on a plane! What more do you need?" I went to the theatre alone.

- hodgesrm 5y agoSeriously?? They diverted because of a reptile in an overhead bin? SOP should have been land normally, catch the little rascal, and fly it back home again.
- deltaonefour 5y agoI prefer everyone to be overcautious if something unexpected occurs. How did the snake get in the plane? Perhaps there's some damage somewhere that allowed the snake to slip in? Landing is the right choice imo.
- jhugo 5y ago> Perhaps there's some damage somewhere that allowed the snake to slip in? I mean, I agree with your more general point, but for an airliner to operate with unnoticed damage is pretty rare. For a snake to then also climb in through the unnoticed damage? It seems like there are simpler explanations that are much more likely :)
- lamontcg 5y agoIf the snake gets into the passenger compartment and bites someone that's a lawsuit. If they have a reaction to the venom that's a bigger lawsuit. And the company is not going to trust any armchair herpetologist guesses as to what species it is or what it "probably" is. It is also unusual enough of an occurrence that a strict policy of diverting when there's (mf'ing) snakes on the plane won't really impact operations that much. IOW better safe that sorry.
- paranoidrobot 5y agoThey diverted, nobody was injured. The airline took a financial hit. This was about the best possible outcome. Could you imaging making the call not to divert, and then the snake gets out of the light compartment? Keeping panicked passengers on their seats for landing is going to be a tall order. A pilot who made that call is going to find it difficult to defend such a decision, and if there were injuries is going to be finding a other career.

- ummonk 5y agoHad me there in the first half. Thought there had been an airplane crash until I saw the "snake on the plane" part of the title.
