Passengers on a flight from Broome to Perth were in for a surprise when their departure was delayed due to a unique passenger on board – a Stimson's python. As the travelers were getting settled onto the plane on Thursday, their attention was quickly drawn to a slithering snake meandering between their feet. Understandably, some of the passengers were feeling uneasy about the unexpected reptilian guest.
But luckily, the situation was soon under control thanks to the quick thinking of Andre Rerekura, a well-known television personality who is no stranger to handling tricky situations. You may have seen him on the popular documentary series, Shipwreck Hunter's Australia. Despite his expertise typically being with marine creatures, Rerekura didn't hesitate to jump into action when he noticed the python on board.
According to Rerekura, there were a few people on the plane who were understandably concerned about the snake, but he doesn't think anyone truly realized the situation they were in. Moving swiftly, he managed to retrieve the python, describing it as both "super cute" and "pretty scared". With the assistance of 9ExPress, this article was able to bring you the details of this unusual incident.
Once the airline crew had confirmed that there were no other reptilian stowaways on board, the flight was able to continue on its journey. After a safe and uneventful flight, the plane arrived at Perth Airport, much to the relief of both passengers and crew. It's certainly not every day that a flight is delayed due to a snake, but thanks to the quick actions of Andre Rerekura, this unique situation was handled with ease and the flight was able to proceed as planned.
