The best way to scare people on a flight is to shout " I have a bomb". But in recent times, a new way to scare people away is shouting "I have Ebola" . An American tourist flying from Philadelphia to Dominican republic decides to play on people fear when he shouted, "I have Ebola" few minutes the aircraft landed on the Puna Cana International airport.
Ebola virus is an ongoing outbreak that has claimed almost 5,000 lives of adults and children in West Africa. After the outburst, medical experts well trained in the containment of the virus had to swing into action and check out the claim, fortunately, it was a false alarm on the part of the tourist.
His passport does not reflect he has been to Africa or anywhere in Africa, His last trip was to Europe in the year 2012. The video that was posted online by passengers of the flight shows the African-American man saying, "I ain't from Africa"
The hoax caused the delay of the flight for another 2 hours.
Speaking to one of the Doy News correspondent, Anna says, " I think it is a ridiculous joke to be played by anyone at this time, and just like the british, that was so American(laughing) "
