A PASSENGER CAUSED quite a stir on a flight from the US to the Dominican Republic two days ago, after he claimed to have Ebola just prior to landing.
Having spent the flight coughing and sneezing, the passenger reportedly yelled out “I have Ebola”, according to local sources. In the official ranking of dumb jokes to make on an aeroplane, this ranks right up with there with “I have a bomb”.
Despite the passenger making clear that it was just a joke, flight attendants were then forced to keep everyone on board while medical personnel in full hazmat suits escorted him to testing facilities.

The flight attendant, who dealt with the situation like a boss, kept things calm by announcing ”It’s gonna look worse than it is, okay? I’ve done this for 36 years. I think the man that said this is an idiot, and I’ll say that straight up.”
Patrick Narvaez, who uploaded the video, writes “Once we landed in Punta Cana we were told by the flight attendants that there was a situation and that a passenger may have been in Africa and had Ebola.”
“She was certain it was a hoax but they did not take any chances and had a full hazmat crew board the plane and take the passenger off. It was later confirmed that the passenger was never in Africa and after 2hrs we were finally able to get off the plane.”
Despite the furore, this pales in comparison to people who applaud after landing. They’re still the worst.
