The crash of a Filair internal flight in DR Congo, which killed 20 passengers and crew, was caused by a crocodile smuggled on-board by a passenger. The Czech-made Let 410 was travelling from Kinshasa to Bandundu on 25 August 2010 when the escaped crocodile caused panicking passengers to rush the cockpit, unbalancing the plane. It crashed into a house close to its final destination. The crocodile was among the only two passengers to survive the crash.
