A plane from Nigeria landed at JFK Airport Thursday with a male passenger aboard who had died during the flight after a fit of vomiting — and CDC officials conducted a “cursory” exam before announcing there was no Ebola and turning the corpse over to Port Authority cops to remove, Rep. Peter King said on Thursday.
The congressman was so alarmed by the incident — and by what he and employees see as troubling Ebola vulnerabilities at JFK — that he fired off a letter to the federal Department of Homeland Security demanding more training and tougher protocols for handling possible cases there.
The unnamed, 63-year-old passenger had boarded an Arik Air plane out of Lagos, Nigeria, on Wednesday night, a federal law enforcement source said.
During the flight, the man had been vomiting in his seat, the source said. Some time before the plane landed, he passed away. Flight crew contacted the CDC, federal customs officials and Port Authority police, who all boarded the plane at around 6 a.m. as about 145 worried passengers remained on board, the source said.

I will stay away from ANYONE who is vomiting. I don’t care where they’re from.
He was watching the clip of Hillary slow dancing on the beach with Bilbo.
Makes me upchuck every time.
Maybe he was afraid to notify the airline staff that he MAY be coming down with ebola since the jokers who likely don’t are being thrown in irons for daring to mention it near an airplane or bus.
Yes. Probably a heart attack. But with this lying White House, who knows?
Leave the Ebola, take the Cannoli.
lol
Thank you for "bringing that up".
Really should not have ordered the ipecac and jack on the rocks. Its a killer cocktail.
A picture is worth a thousand words.
LOL!
This really happened: I was listening to WABC Radio in NYC when the first plane hit the world trade center.
In the first fifteen minutes, the WABC announcer said that the FBI said this was not a terrorist attack.
The weekly media should stop reporting on this. They are so far behind the curve that they are giving false information and false reassurance.
“Just like when Muhammad is found stuck inside a water pipe that leads to a cities drinking water they automatically declare its not terrorism.”
Well, he really COULD be just another plumber! /s;)
sio whats the odds this travelling person did not visit countries with ebola? what was his occupation?
Meanwhile, Frontier announced tonite that they are expanding the Ebola notification list by 750 more people, the ones who flew on the plane after the infected nurse.
That makes the potential affected circle what??
1200?? 1300 now???
All because ONE guy with Ebola, that lied to get into the country, infected at least two more.
Folks, imagine what the disruption will be like when the case count gets to 10?
20?
50???
And the media along with Shep Smith will continue to lie and cover up the truth about Ebola.
I'm sure when they checked his temperature that he didn't have a fever. I'm pretty sure all corpses don't have fevers...
Really puts the X in exponential.
They operate in the realm of the unbelievable. It’s their main tactic. It’s so bad that your circuits shut down.
Right on the money....Obama has put all American citizens in harms way for purely “political” reasons. Not banning West Africa, Ebola infected foreign citizens from the USA, has caused massive panic here in the USA homeland. Obama could care less!!! He is not one of us...period!!! The entire “Obamabot” Democrat Party must be politically destroyed come, election day, November 4, 2014!!! “Americans”....”ALL,,,,just do it!!!
