Guest George Posted March 3, 2003 Share Posted March 3, 2003 CHICAGO -- An airline passenger, Providencio Rodriguez, 70, said he felt several bites or stings on his back around midnight Sunday, as Mexican Airlines Flight 804 prepared to land at O'Hare International Airport. In-Flight Scorpion Attack Rodriguez, of Addison, Ill., jumped up from his seat and ripped off his shirt, and his son saw a scorpion on his back. The son killed the scorpion. Rodriguez was taken to Resurrection Medical Center after the plane landed, where he was treated and released Monday morning. Police said the dead scorpion was placed in a clear plastic bag and sent to the hospital for inspection by doctors. There were not flight delays or alerts as a result of the incident, police said Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest blizzard Posted March 4, 2003 Share Posted March 4, 2003 I remember a few years ago, they found a scorpion on a CDN airlines plane. I think it was inbound to YEG from YVR. A guy had flown in from somewhere south, a scorpion had hitch-hiked in his backpack. He decided to change clothes in the lav between YVR and YEG, and scorpion jumped out. They cornered it in the back and had someone come to remove it when they landed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
