A Dangerous Bite

Snake keeper Lawrence van Sertima was bitten by a taipan, one of the world's most venomous snakes. With the U.S. airspace shut down, his situation became dire as the antivenom was not readily available.

The Urgent Need

The antivenom needed was only available in New York and San Diego. With no flights allowed from New York, they had to get permission to fly the antivenom from San Diego Zoo.

The Special Permission

The FAA approved the request, and a Learjet from San Diego Zoo, escorted by two fighter jets, began its crucial flight to save Lawrence’s life.

The Life-Saving Delivery

The antivenom was successfully delivered, and Lawrence van Sertima recovered, thanks to the extraordinary measures taken during this unprecedented time.

A Solemn Reminder

This unique flight stands as a reminder of the dedication and heroism of those who responded to the crisis, going to great lengths to save a life despite overwhelming challenges.

The story of the only plane flying after 9/11 is a powerful testament to the bravery and dedication of those involved in the response to one of the darkest days in history. It reminds us of the importance of unity, resilience, and the human spirit in overcoming adversity.
