US-bound plane diverts after person from Ebola-hit region boards ‘in error’

Deborah Mistor said passengers were informed of the change four hours before they were due to land: “I think enough people must have been questioning what was going on because 30 minutes later, [the captain] came back on and said that he wanted to confirm that there was nothing wrong with the plane, there were no technical difficulties, that it was strictly because of US authorities not allowing us to land in the US.”
