This is a scene that looks like it’s from a dystopian Hollywood film. But terrifyingly, this is real life! Apparently, an African-American man sneezed on US Airways Flight 850 from Philadelphia to Punta Cana, and joked afterwards that maybe he was infected with Ebola. The flight attendants didn’t take any chances and called for backup.

After they landed, a security team in full hazmat suits escorted the man off the plane. Finally, after two hours, they realized it was all a joke and the rest of the passengers were allowed off the flight.
