The pilot put on a thick jacket, wrapped a blanket round his seat, and had a fire extinguisher, a can of insect repellent and a golf club within reach.
People look inside a plane at the Welkom Airport as they search for a venomous snake that the pilot found hiding under his seat midair, Monday April 3, 2023. CAPE TOWN, South Africa — A pilot in South Africa made a hasty emergency landing after discovering a highly venomous cobra under his seat. And then he had to take off again without knowing if the creature was still on the plane.
Erasmus called air traffic control for permission to make an emergency landing in the town of Welkom, in central South Africa. He still had to fly for another 10 to 15 minutes and land the plane with the snake curled up by his feet. Brian Emmenis, who works at a Welkom radio station and is also an aviation expert, received a phone call to see if he could help. He called the fire and rescue department, which sent emergency responders and a snake handler to meet the plane at the airport.
