BOSTON (AP)
-- A Delta Airlines plane that flew into Boston Tuesday morning
was quarantined briefly because a passenger on the flight was
bleeding from the eyes.
The male passenger,
who has not been identified, was taken to Boston Medical Center
after the plane landed at about 11:20 a.m.
The other
130 passengers and 9 crew members on the flight were then quarantined,
according to Logan International Airport spokesman Phil Orlandella.
But they were
released shortly after, and were gathering their luggage and heading
out of the airport by about 1 p.m.
The bleeding
passenger was apparently in Brazil for about 20 days before boarding
a Delta flight to Atlanta and, ultimately, Boston, Orlandella
said.
Orlandella
said a nurse on the board plane believed the bleeding was the
result of conjunctivitis.
