BALTIMORE, Md. - Officials at Baltimore-Washington International Airport say an AirTran flight from Mexico that landed Tuesday evening was held after two passengers on board the plane experienced flu-like symptoms on the plane. All passengers were later cleared by officials, who said there was no danger.
The flight was held upon landing at the airport just before 7 p.m. An airport official told FOX 5 that the flight originated in Cancun, Mexico, and two passengers on the plane had flu-like symptoms.
Those two passengers were being examined out of an abundance of caution amid the current swine flu outbreak, the official said. Those passengers were later cleared.
The other passengers on the plane were allowed to continue on to customs, the official told FOX 5. There are no signs of any danger.
Incubation period of 7 days, how could they know thay the other passengers didn't contract it?
I thought this was contagious. Obviously the recycled air on the plane made it safe to let the others in./s I hope they were heading directly for a visit to the WH and the Capitol.
They'll be coming here and over staying their Visa's just to permanently get away from the mess in Mexico City, which is exactly why we need to stop all flights from Mexico into this country for awhile.
