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

\n

This is crazy. Apparently there is over 100 people sick on the bottom floor, so happy I\u2019m up top, it\u2019s a double-decker plane 380<\/p>\n

Emirates released a statement last night on the matter, and kept everyone updated via the official Twitter account<\/h3>\n
\n

All other #EK203<\/a> passengers were allowed to leave and clear customs. Our crew & on-ground staff extended full cooperation with the authorities during the onboard screenings & the aircraft has now been handed back to Emirates. 2\/4<\/p>\n
