This is bizarre ! Do any of you have interesting stories about flying in Africa ?

quote:

A routine flight in the Democratic Republic of Congo 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.

Crocs are in such short supply in Africa that people have to sneak them about in duffle bags?!?!

Up until today, if someone had asked me where in the world crocodidiles were cheap and plentiful, the Democratic Republic of the Congo would have been one of my top 10 choices.

How hard could it possibly be to fulfill all your crocodile needs after landing?

I guessing that if a crocodile is small enough to fit into a duffel bag I can probably deal with his reptilian ass with some stern application of my foot and the very smallest use of intelligence.

People are sheep, panicky little sheep.

How many here can fly with 20 sheeple in the cockpit with them?

May well affect CG just a bit and in short order.

Lone survivor was likely the guy in the back laughing his ass off at the herd stampede.
