Tour guide reaches into the river to grab something. Seconds later, he’s dragged underwater in a fight for his life

A tour guide in Indonesia almost died when a huge python pulled him into a river and wrapped around his neck. The scary moment happened on the island of Borneo and was caught on camera. What started as a normal wildlife trip quickly turned into a battle to stay alive.

According to the New York Post, Heru is a tour guide who also catches snakes for a living. He was taking a group down the Sebangau River when they saw a big python lying by the edge of the water. The video shows Heru leaning over from the boat and putting his hand in the water to grab the snake by its head. But things went wrong fast when the python pulled him right off the boat.
