Ebola victims heading to Atlanta: Infected pair controversially airlifted back to U.S. for treatment as hero doctor gives up the only dose of experimental serum for his American colleague
- A specially equipped jet reportedly took off from Georgia on Thursday to transport Nancy Writebol and Dr. Kent Brantly to the U.S.
- En route the patients will remain inside isolation pods called aeromedical biological containment systems
- At least one of the Ebola victims will be treated in a super-high containment facility at Atlanta's Emory University Hospital near the CDC
- Brantly, a father-of-two from Fort Worth, Texas, ensured Writebol received the experimental drug instead of him
- A small amount of the serum arrived in Liberia Tuesday, the Samaritan's Purse charity said on Wednesday
- But on Thursday charity SIM said in a statement that Mrs Writebol's condition had worsened, despite the serum she is taking
- Dr Brantly's health also worsened overnight
