Soon after the discovery ground workers gathered and a uniformed Airblue ground handler was seen dealing with the snake. Sticks were brought to aid and eventually snake was killed by the staffer. And there were multiple mobiles phones recording the video that helped in spreading this story to local media.
And people on social media had a field day mocking the reporters. This reporter asked the most important question facing the whole existence of humanity. He is wondering “this is the new international airport where snakes have access to planes”. This statement is not only weird but factually incorrect as well.
