And for some reason Air Force One was flying low over Manhattan with an F-16 fighter accompaniment today. They didn't tell the public, caused a panic in New York, then came out to say it was a photo opportunity. :rolleyes:

What the hell, Mexico City has also had to deal with an earthquake today, measuring to about 6.0 in intensity, right when they're dealing with swine flu.

Well, you know what they say. Mexico City is the Occult's death capital. :wth:

Baxter: Product contained live bird flu virus

The company that released contaminated flu virus material from a plant in Austria confirmed Friday that the experimental product contained live H5N1 avian flu viruses.
And an official of the World Health Organization’s European operation said the body is closely monitoring the investigation into the events that took place at Baxter International’s research facility in Orth-Donau, Austria.

The contaminated product, a mix of H3N2 seasonal flu viruses and unlabelled H5N1 viruses, was supplied to an Austrian research company. The Austrian firm, Avir Green Hills Biotechnology, then sent portions of it to sub-contractors in the Czech Republic, Slovenia and Germany. (Helen Branswell, Canadian Press)
