| Subject: The Joys of Airline Travel: Flight crew shuts sick passenger in lavatory Fri Oct 17, 2014 9:41 pm | |
| With hundreds of millions of people taking to the skies each year, sitting side by side in cramped planes, there are few places where the public is more on edge about catching something, anything, be it a harmless cold or a vicious virus.
But whatever happened Thursday night aboard an American Airlines trip from Dallas-Fort Worth to Chicago, Flight 2325 seemed to represent a microcosm of emotions surrounding Ebola, which in recent weeks has incited fear and paranoia throughout the country.
A University of Texas professor who was on the flight said she was outraged by what she contends was a sick passenger who was told by flight attendants worried about Ebola that she would have to stay in the lavatory for the duration of the flight.
