Hollywood fiction was brought to life in one of the most horrific ways for passengers flying to Mexico City when a snake dropped from an overhead baggage compartment and dangled over their heads.
The video, reportedly taken on an AeroMexico flight from Torreon to Mexico City on Sunday, shows a poisonous five-foot-long green viper hanging from the lockers directly above terrified passengers.
A man standing at the side appears to have jumped up from his seat in fear. The video was shared on Twitter with the comment:
‘The Viper flying…. A unique experience in the flight 231 from Aeromexico.
It has been reported that the flight had priority landing and the snake was dealt with by animal control.
