Scorpion stings man during flight on United Airlines

Watch it - if you're not beat up in a United Airlines seat, you might get stung. At least that's what happened to Richard Bell, a passenger flying from Houston to Calgary on Sunday, when a scorpion dropped from the overhead bin, landed in his hair, fell onto his tray table, and then zapped him.

This mishap occurred on the same day United passenger David Dao was beaten up on another flight for not "volunteering" to give up the seat he paid for. He was then dragged off the plane while unconscious.

Luckily, the scorpion did much less damage to Bell - he only suffered pain that "felt like a wasp sting." Other than that he was fine.

And as for the scorpion? It was flushed down the toilet in the aircraft.
