Pacific Air Flight 121 is in trouble! Some motherfucker has released snakes on the motherfucking plane!
Needless to say, the passengers are terrified, but there's good news! Samuel L. Jackson, that badass
motherfucker, is on the flight! Six of the passengers--Barbara, Cindy, George, Mike,
Ralph, and Tina--had particularly harrowing encounters with venomous snakes (a
black mamba, a boomslang, an taipan, a gaboon viper, a king cobra, and a rattlesnake),
but Samuel saved them all from certain death (he strangled one snake with his bare hands).
Can you figure out what type of snake each person encountered and how Samuel took
it out? (The solution appears below.)

1. Barbara (whose snake was killed when Samuel used it like a whip) isn't the one
   who encountered the gaboon viper (which wasn't the snake George ran into) or the
   rattlesnake.
   
2. Tina was petrified when she was threatened by a snake, but Samuel saved her by
   flinging open the emergency exit and throwing the snake out the door, crying, "I've
   had it with these snakes!"
   
3. A woman encountered the boomslang, which wasn't the snake Samuel shot.
   
4. "I hope you burn in hell!" Samuel shouted as he tasered the rattlesnake.
   
5. George didn't run into the rattlesnake. Tina didn't come face to face with a king cobra.
   
6. The 6 passengers are George, the woman who watched Samuel crush a snake underfoot, the passenger
   who ran into the black mamba, Ralph, the person who was saved when Samuel shot the snake in
   front of him or her, and the person who encountered the king cobra.
