According to ABC News, passenger Indalecio Medina shot video of the snake along with ceiling of the cabin near a window.

He stated that he was able to control the snake with a blanket once it dropped from the ceiling. The Aeromexico flight was then given priority landing in Mexico City so authorities could handle the animal.

In a statement, the airline said it was checking to see how the snake got on the plane:

“The procedures carried out for this flight are currently being evaluated to determine how the animal entered the cabin and measures have been taken to avoid such incidents in the future,” Aeroméxico added. “For Aeroméxico, the security of its passengers and crew is of the highest priority and it always works to meet the highest quality standards.”

Of course, after the news hot, many took to Twitter to make the obvious comparison to the Samuel Jackson starrer.

Or, as Jackson himself would say it, “I’ve had it with these motherf*cking snakes on this motherf*cking plane!”
