A plane crash which killed a British pilot and 19 others could have been caused by an escaped crocodile. The aircraft plummeted to the ground in the Democratic Republic of the Congo when the animal, which had been smuggled into the cabin, sparked panic among passengers, the unnamed sole survivor told and African magazine.
A British expert, investigating the crash for the Department for Transport, said he could not rule out a crocodile as the cause, but added it was “extremely unlikely”.
According to reports, the accident followed a stampede of terrified passengers fleeing the crocodile after it freed itself from a sports bag in which it had been carried on board.
