Scorpion on a plane....stings passenger
on an Air Alaska plane from Los Cabos Mexico
to the airport in LA?
I suppose we can never know
what to a scorpion its Destiny may bring
including. exactly when it will sting,
but perhaps like any other passenger it might
have simply preferred on a brunch to bite
if offered before, or during, the flight.
On the other hand,could the reason it acted so thuggish
be that it knew flying north would make it cold and sluggish?

Scorpion on a plane: flight attendants kill arachnid after it stings passenger
- Not clear how scorpion got on plane but flight originated in Mexico
- Woman gets off Alaska Airlines flight and refuses additional medical treatment
A scorpion stung a woman on the hand just before her flight from Los Angeles to Portland took off.
Flight 567 was taxiing on the runway Saturday night when the passenger was stung, Alaska Airlines spokesman Cole Cosgrove said. The plane returned to the gate, and the woman was checked by medics. She refused additional medical treatment, but she didn’t get back on the plane.
Meanwhile, flight attendants killed the scorpion and checked overhead compartments for any additional unwanted arachnids. The flight then took off at 8.40 pm, about an hour late. Members of Oregon State University’s men’s basketball team were on the flight, Cosgrove said.
It’s unclear how the scorpion got on the plane, but the flight originated in Los Cabos, Mexico, he said.
Oregon State coach Wayne Tinkle told ESPN that the woman was sitting two rows in front of him.
“The plane was coming from Mexico before us, and (the scorpion) was on the plane,” Tinkle said. “The woman was a real champ. She acted like it was a mosquito bite. They got it off her, but the needle was stuck.”
