I saw this episode of House. They were all faking it because a guy had drugs up his butt and got sick so everyone else thought they were catching a sickness.

Those flights from the Middle East probably come back with shite all over the walls like that poo cruise in the Gulf.

Were there only 100 passengers/crew on an A380 or did they let the other 400 passengers off to Rome the planet?

Yeah, this sounds bacterial, not viral. Salmonella, I would guess. Tainted chicken most likely. Certainly not pork.

Damn. Some kind of chemical attack? Because what biological pathogen would cause that widespread of contagion and onset that rapidly?

It would suck to not be one of the sick ones but having to be stuck in an airplane with them.

I bet all the Asians on the flight were laughing behind their medical masks too.

We were on the St. Maarten to St. Barths ferry (nicknamed the St. Barf's ferry). 3/4 of the people got sick on the way over. No one in our party did but it was the most disgusting hour of my life. I'll never ride that ferry again.
