United Airlines flight diverted after ‘biohazard’ caused by ill passenger

Flight 2477 to Boston landed in DC to conduct a ‘deep clean’ after crew and passengers began vomiting

A United Airlines flight was forced to divert after a passenger fell so ill on board that it caused what one crew member reportedly called a “biohazard” – and made crewmates and other passengers start vomiting.

The plane, Flight 2477 heading from Houston to Boston on Sunday, ended up landing in Washington DC so it could undergo “a deep clean”, the New York Post reported.
