Snakes on a Plane In what can only be described as the greatest synergistic event in film history, a man recently found that there was an actual snake on his plane. More specifically, a four and a half foot snake was stowed away in his single-engine plane's instrument panel while he was flying at three thousand feet. Despite the reptile maneuvering to remain free, Manny Coles was able to grab it behind its head with one hand while maintaining control of the plane with the other. When asked what the problem was after radioing for emergency landing clearance, he said "I told them I had one hand full of snake and the other hand full of plane. They cleared me in." Ah, you silly dingbat! You don't tell them that. You tell them "I've got mothafuckin' SNAKES on this mothafuckin' PLANE, goddammit, so clear a motherfuckin' runway!" Further, according to Coles, he was ill-prepared for a sudden invasion of serpents on his plane, stating "Nothing in any of the manuals ever described anything like this." Which really only underscores the absolutely vital need for Sam Jackson to properly instruct America, nay the world, on how to properly deal with the imminent and deadly threat of MOTHERFUCKIN' SNAKES ON A MOTHERFUCKIN' PLANE.

Actually, I covered this story for ABC's Good Morning America, producing it as a live shot for their Sunday morning program.
The reptile was a black snake. It wasn't poisonous, but it still gave the guy a scare. When it popped its head out of the instrument panel, he smacked it with a spare radio, then reached for the door which was on the passenger side. Unfortunately, the snake beat hi...

Unfortunately, the snake beat him to the door, so he grabbed by the neck. It then wrapped around his arm for the rest of the ride to the airport. He released it into a field in Gallipolis, Ohio. I guess the snake only bought a one-way ticket.
The pilot, Monty Coles...is a pretty cool dude. He's been around forever as a local businessman...doing commercials for his company.
Monty's pretty funny talking about the snake...he was cracking them up in the control room in New York during his live shot on GMA.

If I was radio control and some dude called in saying, "I got one hand full of snake and one hand full of plane," I would've said, "you crazy, pervert bastard, don't you ever muthaf*cking call this muthaf*cking channel again"

I heard this story on the radio at work today, and I'm pretty sure they said the snake WAS poisonous. The guy grabbed it behind it's head and was able to avoid getting bit.
That's some pretty crazy shit. He'll either never see the movie, or be first in line!
