      Honestly I wonder if it was just a chain reaction like that one skit on family guy.

      One person pukes, and then another pukes because they some someone puking, and then two other puke because of the sight of two people puking, etc.

      Unless they were all part of the same group and had a bad meal before boarding, but even then that’s odd.

        Ok yeah that makes more sense, I was thinking along the lines of a chemical leak or something.

      Times Colonist says they were found vomiting in the stairwell and it had to be cleaned up. Maybe one or two people got sick and the rest was vasovogal/sympathetic/emetic/whatever it’s called.
