A United Airlines plane was recently evacuated when a passenger saw a scorpion crawl out of a fellow passenger’s sleeve.

The passenger, who was leaned back in his seat and sleeping when the scorpion appeared, was later examined by paramedics. They determined that the passenger had not been stung, and he declined further treatment. We don’t know if the scorpion was ever found.

a precaution, a new aircraft was arranged. All passengers, along with this man, got on the new plane and their flight finally departed after a three and one-half hour delay.

Several weeks earlier, a passenger on another United Airlines flight had a scorpion fall from an overhead bin. The venomous creature landed in the passenger’s hair as he was eating lunch. He grabbed it out of his hair and it fell onto his dinner table. The scorpion stung him when he tried to pick it up by the tail.

Flight attendants were able to corral the scorpion, and they later flushed it down the plane’s toilet.

While still on the flight, another passenger gave the man a Benadryl, in case he had an allergic reaction to the sting. Medical personnel were called, and they met with him after the plane landed.

Officials from the airline apologized and offered him compensation for the incident.
