The second U.S. Ebola victim is back on American soil after her plane landed at Bangor International Airport in Maine early on Tuesday.
The plane refueled at 8am after arriving from Liberia on its journey to Atlanta, Georgia where missionary worker Nancy Writebol will be treated.
Mrs Writebol, from North Carolina, left Monrovia airport in West Africa early on Tuesday on a chartered plane.
She will be treated at Emory University Hospital along with fellow missionary and doctor Dr Kent Brantly in a special quarantine wing.

Back in the States: Ebola patient Nancy Writebol, a missionary from North Carolina, is due to arrive in Atlanta today to be treated at Emory University Hospital alongside Dr Kent Brantly
Mrs Writebol's son, Jeremy, said his mother 'is still struggling' but that 'there seems to be improvement'.
The two Americans infected with Ebola are getting an experimental drug so novel it has never been tested for safety in humans.
The aid worker is reportedly in a stable condition after receiving a second dose of the drug.
Ebola has killed at least 887 people in four West African countries in the largest outbreak of the disease in history.
Mrs Writebol has shown some improvement over the weekend. She can walk with assistance and asked for Liberian potato soup - her favorite meal, family and friends said.
