Given that the local (at tleast Chinese) press in HK and Macau loves sensationalist news stories and that anything to do with planes, passengers, SARs (or associated illness) or foreigners makes front page news I'm a little surprised that nothing has been heard of about this.
If indeed it happened.
And I'm sorry but there is something in the style of writing in the original post so reminiscent of the wind up trolls on local message boards....
