This is just a bizarre story. The croc escaped from a bag where it had been hidden, created a panic on board the plane and caused the crash.
All that's missing, is someone yelling out "I'm tired of these mother luvin crocs, on this mother luvin plane" or something like that.
A lone survivor apparently relayed the bizarre tale to investigators.
The crocodile survived the crash, only to be dispatched with a blow from a
machete.
Danny Philemotte, the Belgian pilot and 62-year-old owner of the plane's
operator, Filair, struggled in vain with the controls, with Chris Wilson,
his 39-year-old First Officer from Shurdington, near Cheltenham, Glocs.
The plane was on a routine flight from the capital, Kinshasa, to the regional
airport at Bandundu when the incident unfolded, on August 25.
It crashed into a house just a few hundred feet from its destination. The
occupants of the property were outside at the time.
According to the inquiry report and the testimony of the only survivor, the
crash happened because of a panic sparked by the escape of a crocodile
hidden in a sports bag.
One of the passengers had hidden the animal, which he planned to sell, in a
big sports bag, from which the reptile escaped as the plane began its
descent into Bandundu.
