Passengers on a commercial flight in Mexico were given a start when a serpent appeared in the cabin in a scene straight out of the Hollywood thriller Snakes on a Plane. The green reptile emerged suddenly on an Aeromexico flight from Torreon in the country’s north to Mexico City on Sunday, slithering out from behind an overhead luggage compartment. Mobile phone video shot by passenger Indalecio Medina showed it wriggling briefly as if trapped before partially dropping down into the cabin. “Some people got up to see what kind of reptile it was, but nobody got carried away.”After the pilot radioed ahead, the plane was given priority landing in Mexico City and touched down 10 minutes later. Snakes on a Plane was a 2006 action movie that was about exactly what the title suggests.
