  • On Feb. 10, 2022, TikTok user @edal8808 posted a video that appeared to show a snake on an AirAsia plane that was flying over Malaysia. It looked to have been visible inside an overhead light. A flight attendant on AirAsia Flight AK5748 could be heard talking to passengers in the brief clip. This really did happen. The video led many social media commenters to repeatedly make jokes about the 2006 Samuel L. Jackson film, Snakes on a Plane. According to the TikTok video, a Reddit thread, and the above repost on Twitter, the plane with the snake was originally scheduled to fly within Malaysia from Kuala Lumpur (KUL) to Tawau (TWU), but was diverted to Kuching (KCH). It's unclear if @edal8808 was the person who recorded the video. The Malaysian website Berita Harian posted a picture that showed another angle of the snake inside the plane's overhead light. Local reports in Malaysia described a confirmation from AirAsia Group head of safety Captain Ling Liong Tien. CNN Türk published the statement that confirmed the news about the snake on the plane: We also received a similar statement from AirAsia: Additionally, Malaysia's New Straits Times published a second confirmation that the incident with the snake on the plane was real, as shown in the video and photograph: In sum, yes, according to reports, a video really did show a snake that was spotted on a plane while it flew over Malaysia. We reached out to AirAsia for additional comment and will update this story if any further information is provided. (en)
