Luke Taylor, 25, claimed that he was on the Austin to London flight when the crew began looking for a loose scorpion inside the aircraft. He observed people rising. Prior to the plane starting to descend, he assumed they were using the bathroom. He soon learned that a creepy crawly had escaped on the British Airlines flight, causing the crew to conduct a mid-air search for the arachnid. The crew launched an airborne search for the arachnid & looked for it for about 30 minutes.
It was unclear whether the scorpion was a stowaway or if it had escaped from a container while in transit. According to Taylor, said that, “they couldn’t find it, and they had to move everyone in that section to vacant seats scattered over the plane.”
Thankfully, nobody was hurt during the strange incident, and everyone boarded the plane safely. In a statement, British Airlines said: “The safety of our customers is our top priority, and we’re sorry for any concern this highly unusual situation may have caused.”
