(And before anyone asks, this is a DIFFERENT scorpion sighting than the one from a few weeks back. We covered that first one here.)
According to this, a passenger on a United flight from Houston to Ecuador had a scorpion crawling around on his clothes. Understandably, panic ensued. Because scorpions are hellish creatures sent to curse humanity from the depths of the darkest abyss.
(I hate scorpions, you guys. HAAAAAAAAAAATE.)
United says Flight 1035 returned to the gate Thursday night after a scorpion “reportedly emerged from a customer’s clothing.” Paramedics examined the man and determined that he hadn’t been stung. It’s unclear whether a scorpion was found.
United says it found a new aircraft for the flight and all passengers were given a meal voucher for the inconvenience.
The flight eventually got underway 3½ hours late.
At this point, it’s almost a punchline to pick on United. Which is why this is even considered “news” (the original source of this story is the AP). Scorpions on a United flight? That’s TOTALLY newsworthy and something that the general public NEEDS to know about!
So here’s a tip: If you for whatever reason find yourself on a United flight, watch out for scorpions and security guards forcing people to give up their seats.
