Air Transat Flight diverts after family gets sick on board. Lesson: don't eat at the Punta Cana Cantina

An Air Transat flight enroute from the Dominican Republic to Edmonton, Canada made an emergency divert into Ft. Lauderdale last night after a family of 8 became sick shortly after takeoff. All 8 were taken to the hospital in Ft Lauderdale. After the Center for Disease Control lifted its quarantine on the aircraft they commented that they believe the family ate or drank something in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic that got them all ill. Someone forgot to wash their hands before they made the mofongo.
