A Teenager Was Thrown Off A Plane For Coughing

Rachel Collier caught a cold during a school trip to New York last week. The 16-year-old girl fell asleep on an airplane before she and her classmates were to return home to Honolulu, Hawaii. When she woke up she started to cough. "Everyone was looking at me. I couldn't talk because I lost my voice coughing so much. I was panicking," Rachel said. Although a doctor on the plane thought she was healthy enough to travel on the 10-hour flight, the plane's captain decided she should stay at the airport. One of her teachers stayed at the airport with her, and they returned home the next day.
