Tarantel bite in the cockpit: Pilot fights against allergy over the clouds!

dramatic scenes over the clouds: During a flight from Düsseldorf to Madrid, an unfortunate incident occurred when the pilot of an Iberia machine was bitten by a tarantula. The terrifying incident happened when the animal climbed into the cockpit while flight and attacked the captain. It was particularly alarming that the pilot reacts allergically to spiders, which made the situation all the more explosive. Despite this terror, the plane remained safe in Madrid and the passengers were able to leave the machine without knowing the incident, the Spanish "La Voz de Galicia" reported.

required treatment and disinfection

After the bite, the pilot was treated with an emergency medication during the flight to prevent a dangerous allergic reaction. The crew made sure that the passengers felt not uncomfortable during the incident. At first, technical maintenance work was incorrectly pointed out, but in fact a comprehensive disinfection was required. One theory says that the tarantula could get on the plane from Madrid to Casablanca during a previous flight. In Casablanca, there are tarantulas of the genus Lycosa, which are usually not life -threatening, but painful.

After landing, specialists searched the entire plane thoroughly to exclude further spiders, but whether the animal was found remains unclear. The airline Iberia gave the all -clear and confirmed that the pilot was well. Despite the shock moment, the situation for the travelers on the subsequent flight to Vigo was a real nerve thriller, since they were looking for further "blind passengers" when they returned to the plane. So the memory of a really extraordinary flight is retained that could go into the annals of aviation history, as also confirms the reporting of BILD.
