Snake on a plane

According to website SFgate.com there has been a real-life "Snakes on a Plane" encounter on an Aero Mexico flight to Mexico City with a 5-foot snake descending from the overhead compartment.

The website reported that incident happened on Sunday on Aero Mexico flight 230 from Torreon to Mexico City.

According to Mexican newspaper El Debate, flight attendants quickly notified the pilot who immediately began organizing an emergency landing said reporter Darla Guillen. 

A quick-thinking professor Indalecio Medina from Universidad Politécnica de la Región Laguna captured the incident on his phone.

The website reported that he tweeted in Spanish: 

"The flying snake. A unique experience on a flight from Torreon, Mexico, flight 231 of Aeromexico. That being so ... priority landing." He later added that Mexico City's animal control division boarded the plane to secure the "unexpected traveler."
