1 DEATHs Due to Escaped Crocodile on a Plane, AFRICA

We've all heard by now of Snakes on a Plane, but how about a Croc on a Plane?  And no, they weren't eaten to death by the crocodile either.  Strangely, they all died (except the croc plus one), because they panicked and ran to one area of the plane, throwing it off balance which resulted in the plane crashing!  As the story goes...

On August 25, 2010, a Czech-made Let L-410 Turbolet, one of more than 1,100 produced since 1969 as a short-range transport aircraft and used mainly for passenger services, was travelling an internal flight in the Democratic Republic of Congo.  The plane was heading towards and was almost approaching Bandundu Airport when all hell broke loose.  The aircraft involved was a previously registered ES-LLB, and was operated by Airest, an Estonian airline, until 2007, and was stored until Filair bought it in 2009.
