Flying the nervous skies

Officials in hazmat suits escort the misguided jokester off the plane.

Some joke. A man on a flight from Philadelphia to the Dominican Republic apparently spoiled his own holiday by declaring aloud before the plane landed that he was sick with Ebola.

Video taken by passengers Wednesday shows him being led off the plane by officials in blue hazmat suits.

The man, whose name was not released, was checked at the airport infirmary in the resort city of Punta Cana, Dominican officials said.

Once it was determined that he didn't have Ebola, the passenger was put on a plane back to the United States.
