United Airlines Flight Diverted Due To BIOHAZARD

A United Airlines was diverted on Sunday after the crew issued a “biohazard” warning.

United Airlines Flight 2477, en route to Boston, was forced to land early in Washington, D.C., after the crew issued a biohazard warning.

The New York Post reported, the plane “touch-downed early in Washington, DC so the plane could undergo “a deep clean” after a passenger became ill.”

A crew member stated, “I talked to the crew and it sounds like it’s quite bad back there. The crew is vomiting, and passengers all around are asking for masks.”

Flight 2477 was bound for Boston from Houston’s George Bush Intercontinental Airport Sunday morning, but was forced to touchdown early in Washington, DC so the plane could undergo “a deep clean” after a passenger became ill, United told The Post.The situation was so severe that crew members and others onboard started becoming ill themselves, prompting the pilots to request a diversion, according radio traffic from the pilot.

“I talked to the crew and it sounds like it’s quite bad back there. The crew is vomiting, and passengers all around are asking for masks,” a crew member was heard saying in audio from the flight.

“With this kind of being a biohazard I think we need to get this plane on the ground asap,” they added.The plane safely landed at Washington Dulles Airport, where none of the plane’s 155 passengers or its six crew members required medical help.
