A creature that appeared to be a scorpion fell from an overhead bin and stung a man on a United Airlines flight, the company confirmed to CNBC on Thursday. According to multiple reports, passenger Richard Bell was on a United flight from Houston to Calgary on Sunday, when the creature fell from an overhead bin and stung him. United told CNBC the airline crew immediately consulted with a physician on the ground who provided guidance throughout the incident. The company said the man's injuries were non-life threatening. "Medical personnel met the aircraft after it arrived in Calgary," United spokesman Charles Hobart told CNBC. The news came after United sparked outrage earlier this week when a video surfaced of a passenger being dragged off an overbooked United Express flight. United CEO Oscar Munoz at first supported the action. Later, he apologized "for having to re-accommodate these customers." On Tuesday, he issued a detailed apology.

This is like a horror movie for the United executives. Just like Snakes On A Plane. I can imagine the late-night hosts and the meme makers on the internet are hungry for more to hit United with.
