What would you do if you encountered a king cobra? Our first instinct would probably be to run. However, for firefighters who are trained to handle dangerous situations, manhandling a king cobra looks like a piece of cake!
Recently, a video of a female firefighter went viral on Twitter as netizens watched in awe as the superwoman grabbed a king cobra with her bare hands. The 59-second video first showed the female fighter approaching the deadly predator, trying to calm the snake down by placing her hand slightly above its head. Within a split second, the woman grabbed the snake by its neck as other firefighters rushed to assess the situation. She then safely removed the snake from the scene.
Twitter user @kong_Is, who shared the video wrote “Malaysia fire & rescue superwoman catching king cobra with her bare hand. Gal Gadot, step aside”
Others shared the same sentiment as the tweet had already garnered more than 1,700 retweets with netizens praising the badass firefighter!
One user who claimed that he had worked with the woman before said that she was known to be a pro at catching snakes!
We’re glad to know that no snakes can escape the wrath of this Akak Bomba. Thank you to all firefighters for protecting us!
