NEWARK, N.J. (AP) New Jersey health officials say Ebola has been ruled out as the cause of illness for a man who became sick on a flight from Brussels to the United States.
The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey says Centers for Disease Control and Prevention officials met United Airlines Flight 998 when it landed late Saturday afternoon at Newark Liberty International Airport.
Port Authority spokeswoman Erica Dumas says the man began throwing up during the flight. Dumas says the man's daughter was also on board and taken off with him.

"He nudged me and asked me to get the flight attendant," Burchett said. The man told him, "I need a flight attendant. My eyes are floating. I've never felt this way before. They hurt."
According to Burchett, a flight attendant asked the man where he was traveling from. He responded: Liberia.
