Yes, and you would say "no comment" too.

Everyone please recheck the security of your tinfoil hats.

That's reasonable - one passenger just said on ABC News that "the plane nose-dived, engines full throttle"

If you do that, you might jump past Ludicrous Speed and go plaid.

The plot thickens...

That nurse could make something thicken.

So back on topic...

If (and that's a big if) the nurse's story is true, the first passenger feeling sick could have been anything. The second passenger could very easily be a sympathetic response (ask any flight attendant about chain reaction airsickness!) but it does seem kind of strange that an ER nurse and the FA would start feeling dizzy as well, just because they saw somebody else pass out.

Karma stinks, you flew fighters. Ying/Yang.

Fighter pilots make movies.

Bomber pilots make history.

Transport pilots make per diem.

(I don't know why, but that came immediately to mind. We also get to stand there and say hello/goodbye.)

One person is an incipient emergency.

Multiple people make you start wondering about the purity of the air in the people tank.

Oh, and rest assured. This airplane is utterly incapable of ludicrous speed...
