Snakes have been found on planes and even had an action movie made around these creatures flying the friendly skies. People complain about dogs and cats being on board, but I’ll take them any day over the cockroach that is seen scurrying across the wall of a United Airlines plane.

The departure city and aircraft type are not indicated, but X user @BourtBaeless shared the video above of the cockroach running across the cabin wall. It’s no secret that airlines (and not just United) have dropped many of the cleaning standards they adopted during the pandemic. I have been on so many planes recently with crumbs and even whole cookies in the seat-back pockets, stuck in the tray tables, on the seats, and floor.
Some aircraft are so dirty that it wouldn’t surprise me to see a raccoon like in Grey Gardens roaming the aisle. It’s time to bring back CleanPlus.
Anthony’s Take: Bugs and other creepy crawlies can come on board while an aircraft is at an airport, but they wouldn’t be drawn in if there wasn’t food (i.e. garbage and crumbs left by past passengers) for them to consume. This is just gross.

Cleaning standards have nothing to do with this. Now if it was an infestation then I would totally agree, but cockroaches, palmetto bugs, ants, bees, flys, lizards, you name it, they can find their way into an airplane, especially if its on the ground in Florida or other tropical locales. More often than not I would be willing to bet these come in via other peoples luggage, not just breeding onboard because the airline is dirty.
Ah, the Florida State Bird.
