It felt like just another flight for South African pilot Rudolph Erasmus, until he noticed an extra passenger in the cockpit: a deadly cobra slithering next to him.

He identified the snake as a Cape cobra, whose bite can kill someone in just 30 minutes. He says he thought carefully about whether to tell the passengers about the extra unwanted voyager.

He explains how he felt in that moment - and how he managed to make an emergency landing.
