Baby Crocodile causes panic on a plane, that ends up with 20 dead; survives the aircrush only to be chopped by machetes by the rescuers.

Now this is old news but many details came out only recently, besides it is too hilarious to miss. So imagine this: somebody smuggled a baby crocodile through airport security in  Kinshasa, Congo, in a hand-held luggage. The reptile escapes. A stampede of terrified passengers (seriously, how big it was, if it was in a sports bag)  caused the small aircraft to lose balance and tip over.
The unbalanced load caused the aircraft, on a routine flight from the capital, Kinshasa, to the regional airport at Bandundu, to go into a spin and crash into a house, just a few  hundred meters from its destination. 19  passengers are dead along with a pilot. And whats up with this crocodile chopping, rescuing team? Weren't you supposed, you know, rescue?
Anyways.The plane was Czech-made Let L-410 Turbolet,  one of the  1,138 produced .About 500 more of these are still flying around somewhere.



I feel really bad for the crocodile.
