Air passenger stung by scorpion
LandonEx
DETROIT (AP) -- A Northwest Airlines flight from Detroit to Allentown,
Pa., was diverted to Cleveland today after a passenger was stung by
a scorpion.
Flight 3006, operated by Mesaba Airlines, left Detroit Metropolitan Airport
at 10:35 a.m. and was about midway through its journey when a man felt
a bite on his hand, Mesaba spokeswoman Shirley Doering said.
“He looked down and identified it as a scorpion,” she said. “I don’t
know
who killed it, but either the passenger or a crew member killed it.”
The 40-year-old man did not want to divert the flight, but the crew decided
it would be safer to land at Cleveland Hopkins International Airport, Doering
said.
The man was taken to Southwest General Health Center in Cleveland and
was released later in the day, nursing supervisor Becky Mowry said.
The other passengers were put on different flights, and the plane was sent
back to Detroit to be fumigated, said Kate Hubben, a spokeswoman for
Hopkins Airport.
Officials could not immediately identify what kind of scorpion it was.
“Our guess is that it probably got into a passenger’s carry-on luggage who
was coming from the southwest, Mexico or the Caribbean,” Doering said.
“To my knowledge, it’s never happened at Mesaba, but it’s not
uncommon.”

> Scorpion Sting Forces Flight to Land
During my first trip to Australia, met a pom cyclist who had been stung by
scorpion while sleeping on the ground (no tent). He showed his finger and it
was just swollen. He continued cycling the next day as if nothing had happened.
But when I first did encounter a scorpion (walked between my feet), I froze
and was quite concerned...
I did crush a big one with my front wheel once though.
But never encountered them or snakes on a plane.

didn't begin to scratch the surface. Consider: ten hours on the hot tarmac, no
food, no seat pitch, seated between two drunken football hooligans, being scolded
by an antediluvian female FA for reclining my seat and by a predatory gay FA
because my pacemaker is interfering with cockpit to tower communications,
clutching the stub of my full coach fare boarding pass, cradling my oversize
carry-on in my lap because the overheads were full when I boarded, pondering how
I will pass the time in Tegucigalpa now that I have officially missed my
connection to the weekly flight to my remote destination, no, no, these things I
can take in stride. But potentially lethally venomous insects crawling over my
hands? Where is that amorous young man - was his name Bruce? - perhaps he can
help me disconnect my pacemaker.

Snakes I can take, but the thought of encountering a scorpion gives me
the absolute creeps. And on a *plane*, no less....
I'd almost have to discount this story as a parody, but it *is* NW,
after all....
Despite spending some time in New Mexico, I never have seen a scorpion
-- and I'd like to keep it that way.

Scorps ain't insects---they're arachnids (like spiders).

Don't forget that you're also stuck in a coach seat with your knees
already stuck to that reclined seat back and millimeters to move side
to side. And this red scorpion is crawlin up your inside leg...
What a classic!!! :)

Aargh... and I'm flying Mesaba DTW-PWM next week...
By the way, do Mesaba's jets have seats lettered AB-CDE, or AB-
DEF? I ask simply because I've been preassigned 9E and I need to
know whether it's worth trying to change it.
We also have terrible, appalling, horrible seats (all middles,
none together for four of us) for BOS-DTW-DEN on Sunday; how
early do I need to show at Logan to have a reasonable chance of
getting them changed to better seats? Will 2.30pm for a 4.20pm
flight do? (We're WorldPerks members but without elite status;
I'm flying on a super-expensive full-fare ticket.)

cabins there and at no time did you want bed linens,or personnal
belongings on the floor. Saw one cabin mate wake up one morning with 3
little darlings (black scorpions) on top of the blanket that she was
under. During the nite her blanket slipped to the floor. No one was
hurt but you can bet she kept
her bed linens up after that.

With scorpions, your mileage really varies. The last time this
happened to me, II was at home packing for a flight the next morning,
and as I was poking around in one of the side pockets of my laptop bag
to make sure I had all my accessories, I was stung on the finger by
one of the big red ones. I had no idea how long he had been living in
there, waiting to dine on filet of nerd. No pain, but my arm went numb
all the way up to the deltoid.
I took my flight, no problems, but the effects of the sting took a
full week to wear off. It felt as though I were wearing someone else's
arm.

...and you make a pretty cool noise when you step on one

BTW-Mesaba and Northwest are not one in the same, just as Continental and NWA
are not, but have a code-sharing agreement. NWA owns 30% of Mesaba stock.
That is definately a bizarre, unusual incident, but I really don't see why
Mesaba is totally to blame for that. How are they supposed to know if there is
a Scorpion is someone's bag? Or do you think they are coming from the hangar
in DTW? And, yes, I do work there. But, I had nothing to do with it! I'm in

Duhhh ! Of course they did. Don't all US airlines try to stand out , rank
first in some category or another ? Northwest probably is trying for the
"biggest list of problems" category :-)
Can't wait to see NW blame lost baggage on alien abductions :-) :-)

but you still have not provided any evidence to support your slander
that I caused a boot to anyone on WebTV. I am surprised how you can
elevate people to 'netcop' status through a single usenet response that
wasn't even directed to any specific individual. You don't have much
standard do you? What's in it for you? I wonder...
Radome, grow up!

Wrong on both counts. I just proved that it's not in my imagination. And I am
not trying to stir things up. Notice I just made a comment to you some time ago
about this, and you've flown off the handle. You seem very nervous about this.
Why are you so scared?
>but you still have not provided any evidence to support your slander

Now you're slandering me. I never said you caused anyone to be booted. Please
learn to read better.

Weiyun, here's a hint: before you attempt to discuss something, please engage
your brain first. What you wrote above makes no sense. Repeat after me: "In
preparation for departure, please engage brain and cross-check". :)
>What's in it for you? I wonder...
Not much. I mostly laugh at the antics of many of you in this group, and
happened to remember the brouhaha some of you created when Greg first appeared
on the scene.
>Radome, grow up!
Likewise. For someone with a medical education, you behave at the first grade
level. You have a wife, a house, a career (?). Shouldn't you be tending to
those things? Aren't they important to you? You feel the need to follow up to
every post that appears on r.t.a., usually with nonsense and meaningless
gibberish. That's for college kids. Pay more attention to your wife (and your
career, if you have/need one), or else one of these days you might find that
when you turn the computer off, she'll be gone.

No, that's all that's needed to describe a lying pinhead like yours

You mean, like the way you slanderred that poor man travelling with his whole
family on a vacation to Disney World who was attacked and choked by your wife's
co-worker at CO in Sewark? Or was it your wife who choked him?
Radome
Oh, "pinhead"! You're dragging out your Sunday words now, aren't you jbk?
Where'd you learn that one, in the Reader's Digest vocabulary development
section?

such an *apt* title for this thread :-) It certainly covers the

he'll pop up again?

Oh, don't worry. If this is the best delectation he/she/they are getting, then
clearly they need to get out of the house more. Perhaps you could take them to
to a sushi bar in Houston, or one of those lesbian bars you frequent in
Chicagoland. :)

Mother Teresa was a fairly nasty piece of work, actually -- read the
Christopher Hitchens book or see the UK (BBC or Channel 4?)
documentary....

You don't really read what people write to you, do you? Once again: When you
post something here, you make it mine and everybody else's business. If you
don't want anyone to comment, don't post. It's that simple, really.

Nope, no mess at home or at work. Both are excellent. I'm not the one who
spends 24 hours a day here and feels the need to reply to every post. You must
be in some kind of competition for the most posts to r.t.a.

Yeah, I'm familiar with his take on her. I'm no fan of Mother T. for sure, but
Mr. Hitchens is a fairly nasty piece of work himself. I've seen him on TV a few
times. He makes our dear Dr. Laura seem like a cuddly and lovable kitten. He's
got the nastiest personality. A total cynic. And the poor chap's never heard
of taking a bath apparently. Shows up totally ungroomed, disheveled, unshaven,
eyes bloodshot and bulging out. I think he does crack right before he goes on
the air.

Looks like that you are spending way too much time minding other
people's business. Stop lecturing others on how to spend their leisure
time. Better go and sort out your own mess at home and work!

What a totally clueless individual you really are. How did you manage to get
into university? They're obviously not very selective down there in Australia
if they let you in. Elementary school children here in the U.S. have better
reading comprehension skills than you.
>I predict now that when I killfile you, you'll change your id again. Ha

>Poof!
Again, what a totally clueless individual you are. I'm using the same handle
and e-mail address that you said you had killfiled. Obviously you either do not
know the meaning of the killfiling, or you don't know how to do it properly.
Let me explain something to you: when you say you're going to killfile someone,
you don't reply to them. But I doubt you understand this.
And please, by all means killfile me, if you ever learn how. It'll mean one
less asshole's follow-ups to my messages that I'll have to deal with.
Jeez, what an utterly oblivious and irrelevant imbecile you are....

Nope. He was indicted by a grand jury and is awaiting trial-- poor
man. You post is, as usual, a complete lie. And scum like you have
to additionally resort to attacking one's spouse. What a man. Your
only defense for your lies are more lies.
I'd have a battle of wits with you---but you come completely unarmed.
