Scorpion stings passenger on United Airlines flight

It's been a rough week for United Airlines. The same day a passenger was infamously dragged off a United plane in Chicago, a man on a United flight from Houston to Calgary was allegedly stung by a scorpion. The venomous creature fell from an overhead bin and landed on Richard Bell as he was eating lunch Sunday in his business class seat. "Our flight attendants helped a customer who was stung by what appeared to be a scorpion on a flight last week," United confirmed. "Our crew immediately consulted with a MedLink physician on the ground who provided guidance throughout the incident and assured our crew that it was not a life-threatening matter." United Airlines said medical personnel met the aircraft when it arrived in Calgary. United has apologised and offered compensation for the incident. <br/>
