  4. Snakes on a plane (not the movie)
    A snake bit a passenger prompting the crew to divert the aircraft to Hurghada for a safe landing. The bitten passenger had carried the snake with him in a bag concealed by his clothes and had such managed to pass security with the snake. In flight the snake managed to escape the bag. It is suspected the man attempted to smuggle the snake to Kuwait.
    Other sources say it was a cape cobra.
