Disney TV Star Removes Python From Australian Flight
Andre Rerekura, known for his role in 'Shipwreck Hunters Australia,' safely removed a Stimson's python from a Virgin Australia plane before takeoff.
- A Virgin Australia flight from Broome to Perth was delayed by 20 minutes after a Stimson's python was discovered in the cabin.
- Andre Rerekura, a Disney+ TV personality and ocean videographer, removed the non-venomous snake, describing it as 'cute' and 'scared.'
- The snake's presence caused brief panic among passengers, but the flight proceeded as planned after the reptile was safely removed.
- Stimson's pythons are common in northern Australia, especially during warmer months, and are generally harmless despite their ability to bite.
- Officials at Broome International Airport remain uncertain about how the snake managed to board the aircraft.
