        They flushed him down the toilet afterwards. Only trying to live his life. That's the scorpion not the passenger.

        Snakes on a plane. That sounds like a good idea for movie. That'll be even better than my idea for 'Bats On A Plane'.

        At least he wasn't bloodied and humiliated, given a broken nose and dragged off the plane so there's that

        Who brought the scorpion 🦂 into the plane ? I'm sure they don't grow in this kind of environment. I'm sure UNITED IS BAD but this a bit much

        It probably just crawled on when the plane was somewhere that has scorpions.

        And they did not call security to drag the scorpion down the isle? Like they do with other passengers?

        United is going to get a bigger sting than that Scorpion 🦂 can give.
