Hazmat crews are currently on the ground at Logan Airport, after five passengers with flu and Ebola-like symptoms landed in Boston.
At this moment, specialists are inspecting an Emirates flight at Terminal E at Gate E6 at Logan. Three of the five passengers with symptoms are on their way to Boston Medical Center; details about the other two are unavailable.
At 5:20, the other passengers on the flight were allowed off the plane and went through customs.
Flu symptoms include a number of similar symptoms to Ebola, including fever, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea.
Officials stated that the passengers in question may have been to West Africa, but had not been there recently. Officials did not say if they had been in contact with anyone who had gone to West Africa, however.
The scare comes as the Obama Administration has steadfastly refused to consider blocking travel from Ebola-stricken nations to the United States.
The name of the specific flight was Emirates Flight 237. It left Dubai 8:47 Monday morning local time (12:47 AM EST), and arrived in Boston at 2:45 p.m. EST.
Interesting.
It was a World Airways DC 10 which skidded to stop just into over the water, and the plane separated at the nose. he cockpit and first few rows fell into the water while the rest of the craft floated. IIRC the back of the plane was still on dry land.
At first they said there were no casualties. Then someone said “When I got on I was in the second row, but when I got off I was in the front row.”
There was a rumor that Walter and Leo just got off the plane and hid out for the insurance money. It is hard to believe if they were in their seats that they would not have been found eventually, but they haven’t, after more than 30 years.
iirc ... saw the news pictures. Didn’t remember the story. Thank You for the story. Was lacking at link I provided.
What goes up must come down. You throw infected people off a plane and they land somewhere. That is no kind of plan.
During the Ebola importations, Brack Obola was ----ing His Pet Goat. A well-dressed Sunni Muslim always has a pair of stylish high rubber boots for just such occasions...
them poor fishes. What this world needs is more ocean going sea monsters.
That's what that liar Duncan did. Probably many others too. We'll find out a week or three later when Americans start catching the virus from them.
btw ... welcome aboard ... your airline seat has been prepared. We promise we cleaned it ... we promise.
This is going to become tedious, quickly!
... they showed symptoms way too quickly for it to be Ebola. It would have taken at minimum of 2-5 days to begin showing symptoms.
Haha... Thanks.
