A huge Pentagon parking lot remains closed and cordoned off, and a bus full of Marines is temporarily quarantined as medical personnel attempt to determine why a woman who boarded the bus suddenly became ill. The woman, a private contractor for the Pentagon, told first responders she was recently in West Africa.

According to Pentagon sources the woman boarded the shuttle bus shortly before 10 a.m. to head for a change of command ceremony in Washington for the Marine Corps Commandant. The woman suddenly fell ill, got off the bus then passed out and vomited in the Pentagon parking lot. She was taken by ambulance to a medical facility for treatment including a blood test.

The shuttle bus had left the parking lot but when it reached the Marine Corps Barracks in Washington, everyone aboard was immediately quarantined while HAZMAT crews prepared to decontaminate the bus. The group has been transferred to another bus, but remains under quarantine.

The Pentagon parking lot remains off limits except for HAZMAT teams and other emergency personnel.

:shock:

Maybe. Maybe not.
