We Hope You Enjoyed Your Flight On Arachnid Airlines

The Animal Uprising™ has launched a terrifying new offensive. They are now sending their eight-legged shock troops onto airliners to bite unsuspecting passengers. That's right, it's scorpions on a plane!

The scorpion apparently crawled out of the man's carry-on knapsack on American Airlines flight 1552 from Miami to Toronto on Sunday morning, said John Hotard, a company spokesman in Fort Worth, Texas.

"We delayed the outbound flight and searched the cabin of the aircraft to see if we could find any more, which we did not," said Hotard.

He said there was no indication the scorpion was brought on the plane intentionally.

A return flight to Miami was delayed by less than an hour after touching down at the Toronto Pearson International Airport.

Hotard said the man told airline officials he was returning to Canada from a camping trip with his brother in Costa Rica, from where the scorpion likely originated.

Oh, sure. Blame the victim. Don't tell the people the truth about the animals and their terror offensive. Just wait until the spokesman is savagely stung by a sinister scorpion. He'll be singing a different tune then.
