CONGO AIR CRASH BLAMED ON A SMUGGLED CROCODILES

The Democratic Republic of Congo flight turned deadly when a crocodile escaped from a passenger’s duffle bag. According to the flight’s sole human survivor, panicking passengers fled into the cockpit and caused the pilot to lose control.

The first reports of the crash speculated that the plane had run out of fuel and “couldn’t make a proper landing,” but the ostensible truth is far more inexplicable. It seems that one of the private flight’s passengers was smuggling a crocodile in his carry-on and lost track of the animal.

The terrified air hostess hurried towards the cockpit, followed by the passengers. The plane then became unstable, despite the desperate efforts of the pilot. Well, you could guess the result of that.

20 people died as a result of the crash. The crocodile did survive the crash however, but was executed with a machete. 20 down, only 1 survived. I guess the crocodile win after all. But I still don’t get how they manage to dump a living crocodile in the cargo.
