Let's hope it's just some bad salmon, and not one of those human suicide germ bomb jihadis we've been hearing about.

There's always the ever-unpopular on FR possibility that it's simply MSI (Mass Sociogenic Illness).

A plane has been grounded at Glasgow airport after three passengers fell ill.
The British Midland jet was isolated at 6.30pm after arriving on the shuttle route from London Heathrow, a spokesman for airports authority BAA says.

A BAA spokesman says isolating the aircraft is a "routine" procedure.

My husband was a Scottish Dance Band leader. After a gig in Stornoway, he and the band together with their instruments flew on a puddle jumper to Plockton on the mainland.
The pilot sized everyone up and loaded the plane accordingly. They paid at the end of the flight!
Life in the fast lane!
