A Teenager Was Thrown Off A Plane For Coughing

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
