Stowaway scorpion
A scorpion caused a delay at a Canadian airport after it stung a passenger onboard an incoming flight.
The stowaway arachnid had reportedly been unintentionally brought onto the American Airlines flight from Miami to Toronto in the victim’s knapsack on Sunday morning (07.01.07).
The stung man alerted aircrew, who then searched for other dangerous specimens once the flight landed at Toronto Pearson International Airport. Company spokesman John Hotard, said: "We delayed the outbound flight and searched the cabin of the aircraft to see if we could find any more, which we did not." The injured man said he was returning to Canada from a camping trip with his brother in Costa Rica, where the scorpion is likely to have come from.
