A passenger travelling from Philadelphia to Punta Cana, Domincan Republic, thought that it would be a great joke to shout “I have Ebola!” on a plane.

US Airways flight 845 landed on the Caribbean island where medical personnel donning blue trash bags (hazmat suits), cleared the passenger and declared the scare Ebola free. Actually, only fever free, which is one of the symptoms of the virus. Makes one wonder, was it a thorough investigation or just a fly by to get the asshole off the plane?

Airport officials say that he shouted “I’ve just been to Africa”, and not “I have Ebola”.

All we can say is, not your best move mate.
