Commentary: A man says he was stung by a scorpion that fell from an overhead bin while flying the friendly skies.
Hitching a ride on United?
You never know what you’re going to encounter on a plane these days.
It could be a member of law enforcement desperate to drag you off and break your nose. Or it could be some sort of dangerous creature that you wouldn’t normally expect to find.
We’re used to snakes on a plane. However, a man flying on United Airlines from Calgary, Canada, to Houston, Texas, on Sunday says he was descended upon by a scorpion.
As CBS News reports , Richard Bell says the scorpion fell from an overhead bin. Had the scorpion encountered some especially odorous hand-luggage up there?
The scorpion, perhaps dazed by the idea of being among the masses — even though this was business class, allegedly stung Bell under the fingernail.
