Rapper, Vanilla Ice was aboard the Emirates A380 that was quarantined in New York’s JFK airport<\/a>, following passengers falling ill yesterday.<\/p>\n Several passengers came down with fever and coughing, and the USA’s Centre for Disease Control (CDC) took the plane into quarantine.<\/p>\n Vanilla Ice says he was on the upper deck of the A380 – Emirates’ Airbuses have economy on the lower level and business and first class upstairs – and was grateful to be.<\/p>\n This is crazy.
