Passenger pulled from plane...said he has Ebola

[Desirous]

smh I'd be pissed if I were on that plane.



A US Airways flight from Philadelphia to Punta Cana, in the Dominican Republic, was held upon landing yesterday after a sneezing passenger joked about having been to Africa.

"I have Ebola, you are all screwed," the 54-year-old man said, according to the Dominican news site Diario Libre. Fox News reported he also screamed, "I've been to Africa!"

The director of operations of the airport in Punta Cana confirmed a medical team boarded the plane in hazmat suits and took the passenger to a separate medical health area, where he was examined and found not to have the lethal disease. The Ministry of Public Health also confirmed the scare was a false alarm.

The dumbass and/or hypochondriac, who was also found not to have been to Africa, is being returned to the United States, where he will be checked again.

According to the person who posted the above video, the other passengers were held for 2 hours before they were allowed to disembark.

No cases of Ebola have yet been confirmed in Latin America.

lol he probably will be fined.

I'm sure he was just trying to joke around/be funny...and didn't think anything of this sort would happen. Sometimes people say things innocently and it gets them in shyt. You hope that most people would have common sense and know when NOT to make jokes though.

Yes. Grinning, in fact.

Wow he admitted it. Who knew it was that easy. Finally, some honesty. Maybe we can let the healing begin. Please stop paying off my people to scare yours into calling for genocide. Its disgusting. We see what you're doing.

sneezing isn't even a symptom of ebola...be in a perpetual state of fear you fukking sheep. Did anyone ask him what country in africa he came from? did anyone take his temperature to see if he was running a fever?
