Did you know that a person that was vomiting in an airplane from Nigeria to JFK died while en route?!!? Excerpt: “It is my understanding that a plane from Nigeria landed at JFK today with a passenger who passed away en route,” King said in a letter to Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson. “Based on what I know of this situation, I have very serious concerns about the cursory exam conducted by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention official to determine that the passenger did not have Ebola [...].” The New York Post reported the incident occurred on an Arik Air plane that left from Lagos, Nigeria, one of the West Africa countries that has seen only a few Ebola cases in the current outbreak. The Post reported that a federal law enforcement source said the unnamed passenger vomited in his seat before dying. The plane, which carried 145 passengers, landed at JFK at 6 a.m. Thursday, according to the Post. Representatives from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Customs and Border Patrol, and the Federal Aviation Administration did not immediately return requests for comment from TheBlaze. The Transportation Security Administration said that this would not be a TSA issue. King has been part of the chorus calling on the Obama administration to institute travel bans from Ebola-stricken countries.
