Scorpions on a plane: United Airlines passenger gets stung by stowaway scorpion




United Airlines is going through a rough patch as of late, after the highly publicized incident of a passenger being dragged out of an overbooked flight.

Now, a passenger on a Texas to Calgary flight got stung by a stowaway scorpion.

The passenger in question, Richard Bell, was enjoying his business-class lunch when something fell on his head. He grabbed it and realized it was a small scorpion. The animal stung him on the finger right before being terminated with a shoe.

The crew flushed the scorpion’s remains down the toilet and tended to Mr. Bell, who was thankfully given a clean bill of health, and was granted credit for another flight over the incident.
