Several passengers fall ill aboard Southwest Airlines flight to BWI

Linthicum, Maryland-AP -- A Southwest Airlines spokeswoman says that several passengers became ill aboard a flight from Houston as it was approaching Baltimore-Washington International Airport tonight.

The spokeswoman said she did not know how many passengers were stricken, what made them ill or how serious the illness was.

According to broadcast reports in Maryland, one or more passengers aboard the plane were unconscious, and at least one was transported to a local hospital.

Passengers Become Ill As Plane Lands In Baltimore
Cause Unclear; Flight Traffic Stopped Thursday Evening

POSTED: 11:14 pm EDT July 15, 2004
UPDATED: 12:39 am EDT July 16, 2004

LINTHICUM, Md. -- A passenger apparently vomited onboard a plane just before it landed at Baltimore-Washington International Airport late Thursday night.

A Southwest Airlines flight from Houston that was supposed to dock at BWI's Gate C11 was initially reported to have as many as 12 people onboard who were not conscious when the plane landed, WBAL-TV in Baltimore reported.

But airline officials told WBAL-TV that one person was passed out on the plane after vomiting. That set off an apparent chain reaction as five others also became ill. The first person refused treatment at the scene after the plane landed, but at least one person was reported to have been transported to a local hospital, WBAL-TV reported.

Airline officials believe the illness may be food-related.

Fire-rescue crews from Baltimore and Anne Arundel counties responded to the airport, where as many as 20 ambulances were observed.
