” A flight attendant apparently flushed the scorpion down the airplane toilet. “
Oh the humanity! Wait till the scorpion’s lawyers and PETA are done with United. That blue water in the toilet is hell on the scorpion’s complexion.
This may be a good opportunity to ask a question about a puzzling recurring event...
Although I live in the Sacramento, CA area, I live directly under a flyway for air traffic headed generally east from the greater San Francisco area major airports.
A couple of times each year a small area of my backyard lawn is covered by an "oily-appearing" film that look like raindrops, but takes days to "evaporate." My educated guess is anti-icing material from overhead air traffic.
or heaven forbid, some other stuff.
Thoughts from the airline or other aviation folks?
Can't say I ever looked for scorpions or other critter cadavers.
