A United Airlines flight was temporarily held at Los Angeles International Airport after a passenger fell ill and had to be diagnosed for a possible infectious disease.
City Fire Department spokesman Cecil Manresa said the Boeing 747 jet was held at the gate after arriving from Tokyo around 8 a.m. Sunday.
Crew members and 334 passengers were ordered to stay on board while investigators from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention evaluated the 28-year-old male passenger.
Manresa said health officials determined that he suffered from food poisoning or some type of stomach illness.
United Airlines spokesman Jeff Kovick said passengers have been allowed to deplane.

Whatever happened with that guy with TB who came back from the (unauthorized) trip to Europe, via Canada? Remember, his doctors advised him not to go to Europe, and he went anyway against doctor's orders, then wound up in a European hospital..etc, etc., etc.
I haven't heard anything since they interviewed him right after he returned to the states.
Anybody know????

And advanced FReepers would of course have Monty Python references (the trendiest advanced posters quoting Spouth Park).
Sadly...no one has yet to post Otto Pilot (what’s an aviation related thread w/o OP?)
LOL...PaMom
