When you fly on a plane, you don’t expect to see anything other than clouds and maybe a few birds in the sky.

It’s also common to see other planes that share the air space.

A group of passengers were on a trip to Mexico City when they experienced something frightening.A large snake dropped from the baggage compartment on board the plane. The snake dangled above the heads of passengers.

The snake was a green viper about five feet in length. You can see from pictures and videos that the snake is a beautiful green color, but it is a poisonous snake.

Many of the people on the plane jumped from their seats as soon as the snake appeared. Some of the passengers came together to try to catch the snake before it could get away. One man used a blanket to toss over the snake.

When the plane landed, passengers were happy to let animal control officers take the snake off of the plane first. The flight did have priority landing because of the dangerous situation.

Some people made comments on social media under the pictures and video of the snake about the Samuel L. Jackson movie “Snakes On A Plane.”
