Passengers who were stuck on a quarantined Emirates flight at New York's John F Kennedy Airport with sick travelers are outraged staff didn't stop those who were ill from boarding the plane. Emirates did not yet return the DailyMail.com's request for comment on its policy allowing sick passengers to board a plane. Some sick passengers were taken to Jamaica Hospital Medical Center with non-life-threatening conditions, according to a New York City Fire Department spokesman. Rapper Vanilla Ice was on the Emirates flight, but tweeted that he was seated on the top level of the double-decker plane and was fine. Airport officials said Emirates Flight 203 was carrying 521 passengers.
