Cleveland Airport Shuts Off Water Fountains After Illnesses

Cleveland Hopkins International Airport shut off its water fountains Tuesday after people aboard a Frontier Airlines flight became sick, CNN reports. At least six passengers who did not travel together vomited while flying from Cleveland to Tampa, and all said they drank from water fountains at the Ohio airport, according to airport spokeswoman Michele Dynia. It was not immediately clear what caused the people to become sick, but officials were looking into whether the water fountains were a factor. Other passengers were not allowed off the plane for at least an hour and a half according to the Tampa International Airport spokeswoman, adding that about 266 passengers were on the plane.
