A plane had to make an emergency landing due to a situation similar to "Snakes on a Plane" movie plot...kind of!

A South African pilot noticed there was another passenger in the plane with him during a flight.   There was a literal COBRA in the cockpit with him.

This type of cobra is lethal and could kill a person within 30 minutes. The captain notified the other passengers and prepared for for an emergency landing.

Everyone landed safely without any issues from the snake, however they were never able to recover the reptile.  They searched the plane and cockpit for it but never located it.
