Scorpions on a plane WHAT!!!
LOS ANGELES A scorpion stung a woman on the hand just before her flight from Los Angeles to Portland took off.
Alaska Airlines spokesman Cole Cosgrove says Flight 567 was taxing on the runway Saturday night when the passenger was stung. He says the plane
returned to the gate and the woman was checked by medics. She refused additional medical treatment but 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 p.m., about an hour late. Members of Oregon State University's men's basketball team were on the flight, Cosgrove said.
He says it's unclear how the scorpion got on the plane, but the flight originated in Los Cabos, Mexico.

These stories of accidental death after stowing away in an airliner baggage compartment are not uncommon, but being killed by the flight crew is a sad
and horrifying new twist!

Especially if you came from Cabo and didn't go through US customs.

there is nothing scarier than being seated next to a fat person whose obesity exceeds their 18 inches of seat.
i like children on planes, they are usually more pleasant and fun to talk with than most adults on airplanes.

And...the number of times I've been treated to a free back massage by a rug rat kicking the back of my seat from O'Hare to JFK is hard to
forget!!!
