“Sick passengers allowed to continue on”
Associated Press - June 12, 2007 3:33 PM ET
ARTICLE SNIPPET: “MIAMI (AP) - Health officials have now released nine passengers who were ill on a flight from Mexico to Miami today.
Initially, authorities reported eleven sick passengers on the Aeromexico flight from Merida. But a spokesman for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says nine were ill, with gastro-intestinal-type symptoms.
None was hospitalized.
An airline spokesman says it must have been something they ate before leaving Mexico, since no food is served on the flight.”
Thank you, all4one.
