Video: Plane Gets Re-Routed After Passengers Notice Snake
We can almost hear Samuel L. Jackson’s famous expletive-filled rant in the movie “Snakes on a Plane” after reading this story.
NPR reported that an AirAsia flight that was headed from Kuala Lumpur to Tawau in Malaysia had to make an emergency landing in Kuching after passengers caught sight of something large slithering through the plane’s overhead light fixtures.
TikTok by user @edal8808 caught the whole thing on camera and posted it in his feed.

The airline didn’t confirm the stowaway at first, but the airline’s chief security officer Liong Tien Ling verified the incident in a statement to CNN Türk.
“AirAsia is aware of the incident that occurred on the flight from Kuala Lumpur to Tawau on Thursday. As soon as the captain was notified, the plane was diverted to Kuching to be disinfected,” he said.
Ling told the publication that the passengers were in no danger and they were allowed to continue to their final destination in Tawau on the same day.
The snake video has gone viral with over 2 million views. And for those worried about traveling in the future, Ling said it almost never happens.
“This is a very rare incident which can occur on any aircraft from time to time,” he explained.
Snakes on a Plane is the 2006 Action/Thriller/Comedy starring the aforementioned Samuel L. Jackson as FBI agent Neville Flynn who must escort a murder witness to Los Angeles from Hawaii via a Boeing 747.
After the timed release of countless snakes from the cargo hold in an attempt to kill the witness, the passengers and crew (and Chihuahua) are attacked, bitten, and swallowed by a variety of deadly snakes 30,000 feet above the Pacific Ocean.
There’s no word on if anybody from the AirAsia flight shouted, “I have had it with these mother****ing snakes on this mother****ing plane!” We’ll keep you updated.

Man Arrested for Allegedly Taking a Severed Leg From Crash Site And Eating It
A local California news station reported late last month that a man was being held in custody for allegedly taking the severed leg of a deceased train wreck victim and eating it. Be warned, this is a very disturbing and graphic story.
It happened on March 25 in Wasco, Calif. in a horrible Amtrak train accident a pedestrian was struck and killed and one of his legs was severed.
According to KUTV a man named Resendo Tellez, 27, stole the body part from the impact site.
A construction worker named Jose Ibarra who was an eyewitness to the theft revealed to officers one very grim detail.
“I’m not sure from where, but he walked this way and he was waving a person’s leg. And he started chewing on it over there, he was biting it and he was hitting it against the wall and everything,” said Ibarra.
Caution, the following picture is graphic:
Police found Tellez and he willingly went with them. He had outstanding warrants and now faces charges of stealing evidence from an active investigation.
Ibarra says Tellez walked past him with the detached limb. He describes what he saw in lurid detail, “On the leg, the skin was hanging. You could see the bone.”
The Burlington Northern Santa Fe (BNSF) police arrived on the scene to begin their own investigation.
According to a follow-up report by KGET News, Tellez was known throughout the neighborhood as homeless and non-threatening. A liquor store employee said she knew of him because he slept in a doorway near the business and was also a frequent customer.
Court records say that Tellez took the detached lower limb, “because he thought the leg was his.”
There are also reports that a video exists of the incident. It was circulating on social media, but we won’t provide it here.
The Kern County Sherriff’s office had no follow-up report as of this writing.

Woman Brings Corpse Into Bank To Sign Loan Papers
Warning: This is a disturbing story.
You have to be pretty desperate for money to do what this Brazilian woman did at the bank to get a loan. She wheeled in a fresh corpse to endorse the contract and she seemingly thought the bank employees wouldn’t notice. They did.
This weird and disturbing story comes via ScreenGeek an entertainment digital publication. They write that a woman identified as Erika de Souza Vieira Nunes pushed a man she identified as her uncle into the bank pleading with him to sign loan papers for $3,400.
If you’re squeamish or easily triggered, be aware that the video captured of the situation is disturbing.
Latin America’s largest commercial network, TV Globo, reported on the crime, and according to ScreenGeek this is what Nunes says in Portuguese during the attempted transaction.
“Uncle, are you paying attention? You must sign [the loan contract]. If you don’t sign, there’s no way, as I cannot sign on your behalf!”
She then adds: “Sign so you can spare me further headaches; I can’t bear it any longer.”
At first we thought this might be a hoax, but according to Brazilian police, the uncle, 68-year-old Paulo Roberto Braga had passed away earlier that day.
“She attempted to feign his signature for the loan. He entered the bank already deceased,” Police Chief Fábio Luiz said in an interview with TV Globo. “Our priority is to continue investigating to identify other family members and gather more information regarding this loan.”
If convicted Nunes could be facing jail time on charges of fraud, embezzlement, and desecration of a corpse.
