‘Flying infirmary’: VIDEOS show confusion inside quarantined Emirates plane at JFK

Videos from inside an Emirates plane grounded and quarantined at JFK airport show confusion among the passengers. The plane was quarantined after some passengers reportedly fell ill during a flight from Dubai.

Emirates Flight 203 landed Wednesday morning, after the pilot noticed passengers coughing and exhibiting symptoms of fever. The plane has since been parked in a staging area at the airport, as emergency response teams check passengers and investigate the cause of the illness.

Video footage from inside shows confusion on board the plane, as officials try to clear the aisles and keep passengers in their seats. One passenger, Erin Sykes, said that many people on board seemed sick before the flight even took off. She described the plane as “basically a flying infirmary,” and added that she asked cabin crew for a mask before the 14-hour flight, so she wouldn’t become sick herself.
