Vanilla Ice took to Twitter and Facebook on Wednesday to share his experience aboard of an Emirates airplane that was held at the John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York after several people were reported ill. “This is crazy,” the singer tweeted.
“So I just landed in New York coming back from Dubai and now I’m stuck on the runway with like 1000 police, ambulances, fire trucks, this is crazy,” the rapper and home renovation TV personality wrote in a Facebook post.
The “Ice Ice Baby” singer posted an accompanying video of his view from the plane’s window, which shows ambulances and police officers on the ground.

The Emirates Airbus A380, which was carrying about 520 passengers, arrived at Terminal 4 and was diverted to a holding area where it was met by the Centers for Disease Control and Port Authority police.
Those unaffected were soon allowed to leave the plane.
Statement: Emirates can confirm that about 10 passengers on #EK203 from Dubai to New York were taken ill. On arrival, as a precaution, they were attended to by local health authorities. All others will disembark shortly. The safety & care of our customers is our first priority.
