Frank James Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 That guy in the cherry picker is MUCH MAN! I would have been afraid that the serpent, once disentangled, in swinging free would have swung into the basket and done a reflexive coiling around the rescuer's body. A kind act, should get a making merit bonus for that one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got told that it doesn't active squeeze you to death, it just tighten a bit everytime you breath out and next time you can't take in enough air. That means there would be time enough that some bystander helps. But still good and brave job..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usually they kill like that using immense force around the ribcage, but what if it curled around your neck?? How long would you have then to get it off??

Morakot Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 Locals assumed the serpent snaked up the post because officials had sprayed anti-mosquito poison into a nearby water pipe just earlier. Interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nonthaburial Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 For the life of me I cannot fathom out how it wasn't electrified, pictures clearly show the snake in contact with both the wiring which should be live and the post, which must be earthed. Unless of course the power was turned off prior to all of this, but saying that, the aerial platform (cherry picker) does appear to be insulated.

speedtripler Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 Deep fried - not good. and managed to bring the python down unharmed ..and then, they ate it. no,those things are worth big money to a zoo or wealthy private collector no way they would kill it for food i remember years ago a huge one swam from a canal up a tree into some 3rd floor balcony and the guys spent hours trying to catch it with ropes and sticks and pull it down but the snake was stronger than 3 men , i asked my gf at that time why dont the police who were standing around just shoot it ?? she said they will get no money for it dead .........
