The Crocodile did not kill those people, senseless panic obviously did.

I feel bad for the crocodile. Like it was his fault some doofus thought it'd be a good idea to bring it on a plane in a bag.

I dunno, throw luggage at it and pin it down? throw it off the plane?

Someone had to be wearing a belt, i would have pinned it down and wrapped its mouth with the belt and thrown a blindfold on it.

Easily if you know how. Throw something over its eyes and it will freeze. Also, a child can hold a crocs mouth shut, all their power is in closing not opening, not that I would recommend it. The croc would not even attack in that situation, it would hiss and back itself into a corner, it is not going to go postal and kill 20 people! The main point though is the pilot who is the biggest one at fault here, he is the one responsible for the safety of his passengers and his training is not to panic. If this croc was snuck onboard in a bag how big was it? Could not have been that big.

You obviously know very little about crocodiles. Nothing excuses the pilot from losing control of his plane in this situation.

You think pilots should be trained to deal with crocodiles?

The story says everyone ran to the the front of the plane, which caused plane to be unstable and led to the crash. Is that even possible? So everyone going to the front caused too much weight and the plane tipped and crashed?
