A RANDY crocodile overturned a seaplane while trying to bonk its float. A coastguard in North Australia said: "Obviously this croc needs glasses."

I was talking to a bloke who flies out of Darwin, in the north of Australia. He said that in some parts where ther are swampy marshes, at night when there is a full moon, sometimes you see lots of what seems to be winking lights, they're not fireflies, they are the eyes of crocodiles(up to 16 feet long).

Makes you think about having a forced landing.

Ouch.. That reminds me of the Valujet crash when the rescue workers could not get to the site due to the 25 ft. long alligators..

How about the Eastern L1011 crash in the everglades same scenario.. Lots of Gators HUNGRY!
