What in the world is that picture? Does that green area represent the snake? I can hardly picture it.

I believe that it a photo of a totally unrelated event (wing fairing came loose and ripped off)...the media is infamous for getting stock photos/graphics wrong when it comes to aircraft & especially firearms (i..e. “assault weapons”).

I think this is probably the first time I ever felt sorry for a snake.

The snake that likes to travel. He didn't like riding in cars.

I dunno what’s up with that photo.
The plane was fine.
The snake was trying to get inside of the flap on the following edge of the wing the whole time and was beaten to death by the wind and the cold.
I can’t imagine having to watch that happen with no way to help.

You’re not kidding.
In most of the news report features, they’ve got stock photos of *Ball* Pythons as leaders.
Harmless little Balls live in North Africa, for cryin’ out loud.

My favorite part of this story:
Passenger Robert Weber videotaped the struggle and told Australia's Fairfax Media that the wind whipping the snake against the side of the plane left a bloody smear.
Pointless information when you don't have video in the story, dontcha think?
