Passengers jump for cover as a snake slithers through airport lounge

Terrified passengers panicked after a black rat snake was spotted slithering through an airport waiting area.
The serpent was seen snaking its way across the main departure lounge of the airport terminal as passengers jumped from their seats.
Footage shows one member of airport security staff using a long pole to pin the snake down before another stuffs it into a plastic bag.
The snake was then released back into the wild in bushes near the airport.
The incident occurred at Daniel Z. Romualdez Airport in The Philippines, where the snake would have had to pass through both passport control and airport security.
Black rat snakes are common in the Far East and despite the passengers’ panic, the snakes are completely harmless, feeding only on rodents and birds.
A spokesman for the Daniel Z. Romualdez Airport said that nobody was injured by the snake.
They added: ”The snake was also not harmed and it’s now safe. We don’t know how it got past security!
”There was a bit of commotion but it settled down and no planes were affected. There was no danger to any passengers”.
