A large scorpion was seen crawling out of the overhead lockers on a recent Lion Air flight, causing passengers to flee the aircraft.

The scorpion was caught on camera during an Indonesian domestic flight #JT293 from Pekanbaru to Jakarta on 14 February.

The Boeing 737-800 didn’t divert and continued to Jakarta.
