Aircraft crashes after crocodile on board escapes and sparks panic

[Happy Trails]

From the UK Daily Telegraph:
Aircraft crashes after crocodile on board escapes and sparks panic - Telegraph

A small airliner crashed into a house, killing a British pilot and 19 others after a crocodile smuggled into the aircraft in a sports bag escaped and started a panic.

Reminiscent of that movie Snakes On a Plane, but no happy ending this time.

Unfortunate, and that’s a new one. I note the article didn’t say how big it was… so I assume it must have been a decent size, as a small one while scary could easily be overpowered. I’d jump on a Cayman… but anything much bigger and I’d be wary.

Some conclusions that could be drawn: (1) there is no lady checking ovesize carry on bags at FIH; (2) the sports bag was obviously a La Coste; (3) there is some likelhood the croc was not pleased with the choice of beef or chicken; (4) La Coste sports bags will probably not restrain a hungry crocodile; and (5) there are no armed (and agile) sky marshals flying the FIH-FDU sector, but I may be speculating.
