Seems a little odd

All those snakes seemed to jump out at the same time, almost as though they had coordinated their attack.
And why didn't the Air Marshall simply deploy his handy mongoose to go after and kill those snakes? I am pretty sure they carry mongooses with them on planes for just such emergencies.
At the very least the pilot should have given an announcement that there were mongooses on the loose in the cabin of the plane. That way the snakes would hear that and try to avoid the cabin area. Snakes know better than to mess with a mongoose.
Then the pilot should have redirected the air conditioning to the other areas of the plane. Snakes are cold blooded and go into hibernation when it gets cold.
I imagine after this film there was a lot of retraining of air crews: mongoose deployment drills, air conditioning all parts of the plane drills, etc.

Thanks for making some sense out of that weak plot! - which they probably threw together just to scare audiences from the cargo pit to the cockpit by way of the cabin area!
Well, guess we may as well await one of its better sequels, like the time when blonde snakes hijack the airplane to Ireland for the Saint Patrick's Day confrontation.
Warning! - No one will be seated for the "Wearing of the Green Garter Snake" sequence!

You're right.
On a serious note, I have noticed that movies seem more likely to show cats being killed than dogs. Or perhaps that is only my perception or a selection bias. But it seems that way to me. I may be a softy this way, but I hate to see animals mistreated or killed inhumanely in films. First, I just hate to watch that stuff.
[I am not saying this film depicts people cruelly killing animals, but some do and I hate to see it. ]
Second, there is a small segment of people who don't need any encouragement toward cruelty. I am talking about people who lack empathy for these innocent and loving animals, and even some who laughingly and cruelly kill them. They are psychologically unstable to start with. Cruelty to animals is a warning flag for several different, serious, mental defects. Young people at risk for bad behavior who see this happening in films may think it is cool somehow and be encouraged to emulate what they see.

I have two cats presently. One is a volunteer cat who wandered into my yard and started coming around. I took him to the vet and had him patched up when I noticed a wound one day, had him checked out, checked for a chip, got shots, etc. Since then he has been my cat. He can come and go, but he mostly sleeps in my house now and is always there at meal time. He follows me around the yard. He comes and gets me when he wants to walk around the yard. He is much like a dog that way, more attentive than a dog really. The other cat is more of a home body though he goes outside also. He looks like a late generation Savannah cat, that cross between a Serval and a domestic cat. The late generations are about the size of domestic cats, but the hind legs are slightly longer, giving them good jumping ability, and they are very social. He is vocal too. He calls out to me when he doesn't know where I am. Servals do that in the wild. It must be an ingrained genetic trait.
They are both very social, very attached to me. I have not seen cats so attached to people before, not like these. And it goes both ways. I love dogs also. And they typically love me back.
