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.

REALLY?????????
Well he didn’t have a fever when he boarded...
He had the fish.
Concerned....heck yeah. But heart attacks can make people vomit. Sad thing, here, is we can’t trust the government to be honest.
Cue Family Guy vomiting pic...
Now why would anyone be alarmed at THAT? This is very narrow minded thinking /
the CDC, federal customs officials and Port Authority police, who all boarded the plane
You know all those folks are watching themselves
in the mirror and taking their temps hourly.
Jeez, sure glad I’m not a world traveler, not that that
will save me...
I think the evidence that Nigeria is Ebola-free is very strong, I would think other things much more likely.
Well, they checked him and he didn't have a fever so, it must have been something other than Ebola right?
Celebrate and embrace the Diversity............
Idiots complete idiots if we believe thier sh##
“Well he didn’t have a fever when he boarded...”
Or when he ,,,,landed?
At this point, don’t trust ANYTHING that satan .gov says
Story after story of this ebola on the front page here but this is a very curious story. Man.
Ebola has been beat back down in Nigeria, about 8 people died I think but it is still there and the quarantine is up from the World Health Organization to now 42 days though I think the article posted on Free Republic indicates better than 90% of all cases are discovered in 21 days.
Engineer Parker, “Come on baby, the food ain’t that bad...”
Hoe could they clear him of Ebola so fast? I thought it took 72 hours.
Hell of a time we live in. Nigeria stays ebola free, but Obastard managed to get it right into Texas.
I thought it took 72 hours to test for Ebola?
Uh oh.
