Snakes on a train
CHAOS ensued on a packed Vietnamese train when ticket collectors spotted dozens of killer snakes smuggled aboard a passenger car, Sky News reported today.
Hundreds fled in panic after the venomous cobras, which can kill a human within 30 minutes, were found slithering under a seat in four see-through cloth bags.
Pham Van An, 20, who was on board the train from Ho Chi Minh City to Hanoi, said that a few hardy passengers stuck around to get a closer look.
