When Skansen called and asked electrical and plumbing fitter Håkan Svanström for help in capturing a poisonous king cobra, he had no idea how world-famous the scenario would become. The entire hunt for Sir Vääs, also called Houdini, became a mini-documentary.

With a YouTube channel of 44,300 subscribers and weekly uploads from everyday work as an electrical and plumbing fitter, operations manager Håkan Svanström could never imagine that a short documentary about when he and his colleagues help catch a king cobra would be produced.

- It's probably the strangest thing we've been through, says Håkan Svanström.
