On Wednesday, in the midst of the recent Ebola panic, a passenger on US Airways Flight 850 from Philadelphia to Punta Cana, Dominican Republic, made an off-hand comment about possibly having Ebola. Specifics are unclear, but first-hand accounts suggest the man, who had been coughing during the flight, mentioned the virus and having “been to Africa” after sneezing.

He appears to have been joking, but nonetheless: Upon landing in Punta Cana, the plane was boarded by a four-person hazmat team, who escorted the man of the plane. Apparently, the procedure kept all the other passengers on the plane for an extra two hours. One of many passenger-shot videos of the incident is above.
