Centers for Disease Control and Prevention officials scrambled to meet a United Airlines flight from Brussels at Newark Airport on Saturday after a passenger believed to be from Liberia exhibited signs of Ebola.
Almost 300 passengers on United Airlines flight 998 were held at the terminal for more than an hour after the Boeing 777-200 twin engine jet arrived at Newark Liberty International Airport just after 12 pm.
The crew reported that a person was vomiting, and that Liberians were aboard the plane, a law enforcement source told The Post.
The person throwing up is believed to be Liberian, the source said.

On the boats and on the planes
They're coming with ebola
Never looking back again,
They're coming with ebola
“Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!”
Same plane “patient zero” came in on?
CDC already said that he didn’t have ebola but I don’t know how they can determine that without a blood test

Obama issued orders yesterday: "There will be no new cases of Ebola in the US before the elections. Period."
Move on folks, nothing to see here!
I was wondering the same thing. Plane from Brussels, reports are saying the father and daughter are likely from Liberia, they're exhibiting "flu like symptoms" and the plane was boarded by officials in Hazmat suits.
How are they ruling out Ebola already?
Maybe they have those iris-scanning devices like they did in I am Legend.
Are they using the same expert team from Dallas to clean out the vomit from the plane? You know, those two young men with the pressure washer and no protection?
Fox News reported that this guy does NOT have Ebola..gee what made him puke so much, bad in flight meal?
Close the f’ing borders!
That's easy... same way the economy is better, the war on terror has been won, healthcare in the US is fixed, we have the most transparent and ethical admin in history, etc.
You simply get the government to declare something to be a fact, and voila...it's now a fact.
I thought I read that if blood tests are done too early the test negative?
This guy could have been at the airport for up to an hour before boarding. Wouldn’t it seem like some staff member of the Airport crew could have observed the passengers for a few minutes before they boarded. This guy must have been on thin ice even before boarding. It just seems that no precautions are being taken at all. This guy should never have been allowed to board. I’m not buying into the idea he wasn’t showing signs of distress prior to boarding.
Kick the guy to the curb. Check him out. Let him catch a later flight.
Rubbish. Ebola comes on ships. Carried by seamen.
