In a shocking incident, a massive python weighing 80 kilograms and measuring over five meters in length crashed through the roof of a family’s house in Kampung Dew, Kamunting, Malaysia. The moment captured on video has been widely circulated online, leaving viewers stunned.
The New Straits Times reports that the python was probably straying in from an oil palm plantation next door. The incident occurred about 8 PM on November 22, and the family immediately called the Taiping District Civil Defence Force, a component of Malaysia’s civil defense agency, Angkatan Pertahanan Awam or APM.
In a desperate bid to catch the giant snake, rescue officers had to partially demolish the living room ceiling. The viral video starts with a snake catcher using a rod to remove the python. Moments later, the massive reptile falls through the ceiling onto the sofa, leaving viewers petrified as it slithers across the living room.
