IMO this doesn't seem to add up. What do you guys think?

Re: Awful Snake Story
 

What a nightmare. How does that happen to one of them without waking up the other? The story does sound odd.

How could a snake come crashing through the ceiling and not wake at least one of them? I am sorry but if I dropped something basically anywhere in my house from the height of 8 feet and it weighed a 100 pounds pretty much the whole house is getting up. Shot the shave mirror fell this morning in the shower both my daughter (2) and my son(5) were wide awake after that.

I could see if it was a poisonous snake and it bite both of them then they died but a python not happening. Something is up with this story.

Those snakes are nothing but one large muscle and could easly kill the two kids. How it killed both boys is the strange part. My guess it woke up the kids and then went after the movement.

Yes you are right it has the power to kill them. The only way i think it could get both of them is if they were laying next to each other. i can't see the snake going from one to the other. Snakes don't kill for the hell of it.

But really a 15 foot snake falls 8 feet and weighs 100 pounds that doesn't wake you up? Hard to believe they slept through that.

It's CNN reporting on Canada...nothing is going to make sense!


Horrible situation whenever any child is lost but I see your point. How did they die exactly...from being attacked, bitten, choked together or simply from a 100-pound snake falling on them? I'd think a 7-year old could survive that unless it was on his neck or head.

We definitely need more details to be able to understand this.

What doesn't add up exactly?

I still don't see what doesn't' add up. Is it that the noise should have woken the other people in the apartment up?

If you were asleep in a room and i dropped 100 pounds from the ceiling do you think you would wake up?

Seems odd the snake would kill both of them. I could see him getting one and trying to eat him then either succeeding or giving up. There have to be some type of struggle thus alerting the other boy. Snakes don't juts kill for the heck of it they do it for food.

IDK just seems fishy to me. In the comments there is a lot of speculation as well.

The hard part for eating humans for pythons is the shoulders.
