Scorpion found on board United plane

A United flight was delayed for hours Thursday evening at George Bush Intercontinental Airport after a scorpion was spotted on board the plane. According to reports, the stinging insect had crawled out from a passenger’s clothes. “Houston to Quito flight 1035 returned to the gate after a scorpion reportedly emerged from a customer’s clothing,” a statement from the airline read. “Paramedics at the gate immediately examined the customer and determined that he had not been stung. The customer declined further medical treatment and, as a precaution, a new aircraft was arranged. We provided all passengers with a meal voucher due to the delay and the flight, with the customer aboard, has departed for Quito.”<br/>
