A majority of Americans support banning all flights to the United States from countries experiencing an Ebola outbreak, an exclusive NBC News online survey reveals.
The survey, which was conducted by SurveyMonkey and then weighted for age, race, sex, education and region to match U.S. Census data, found that 58 percent of Americans want a ban on incoming flights from West African countries hardest hit by the virus, such as Liberia, Guinea, and Sierra Leone. Twenty percent of respondents opposed a travel ban, and the rest said they didn’t know. The survey was conducted a day before the first person diagnosed with Ebola inside the U.S. died Wednesday.

U.S. F-15 crashes in United Kingdom, official says

Defense officials said a U.S. Air Force F-15 crashed Wednesday, October 8, 2014, in England. Here, an F-15E Strike Eagle flies during a demonstration in 2007 near Indian Springs, Nevada. The F-15E was designed for long-range, high-speed interdiction without relying on escort or electronic warfare aircraft. It was derived from the F-15 Eagle, which was developed to enhance U.S. air superiority during the Vietnam War.
A military aircraft crashed in eastern England on Wednesday, and the pilot ejected and survived with a minor injury, police in Lincolnshire said.
The plane was a U.S. Air Force F-15, a U.S. Defense Department official told CNN on condition of anonymity. Lincolnshire police didn't name the country to which the plane belonged or release the pilot's name or nationality.
The crash happened in Weston Hill, police said. A cordon was put in place around the fiery wreckage, and the public was advised to avoid the area because of concerns that the fumes may be hazardous, police said.
After the ejection, the pilot was taken away by helicopter, police said. Details about what led to the crash weren't immediately released.
