How Snake In Plane Forced South African Pilot Into Emergency Landing

A South African pilot who made an emergency landing after a venomous snake crawled into his seat was praised by the authorities Friday for “displaying impeccable bravery”.

Rudolf Erasmus was flying a small private aircraft with four passengers from Bloemfontein to Pretoria earlier this week, when he felt a large Cape Cobra snake moving across his back.

Despite the extreme pressure, he landed the plane incident-free in Welkom, a city located roughly midway along the route.

“I wish to congratulate Rudolf for the courageous steps taken and for how he handled what could have been a major aviation incident,” said South African Civil Aviation Authority (SACAA) director Poppy Khoza.

“He remained calm in the face of a dangerous situation and managed to land the aircraft safely without any harm to him or the passengers on board, displaying to the world that he is an aviation safety ambassador of the highest order.”
