Plane Carrying Viruses Crashes in Canada
Oct 06 6:57 PM US/Eastern

WINNIPEG, Manitoba

A cargo plane carrying small amounts of flu virus crashed on railway tracks near Winnipeg's city center Thursday, killing the pilot but missing buildings and vehicles, authorities said.

The research samples of frozen influenza and herpes viruses were destroyed in the crash and ensuing fire along with other freight, Federal Express spokeswoman Karen Cooper said.

>> why do I get the feeling this might be misdirection on the part of our enemies? <<

Because it might be. Watch for secondary targets. Other transit systems have gone on higher alert. Smart move IMO.

Maybe this is all a plot by Muslim cabbies to get NYers to take more taxis!

Why even transit targets? I know the old military anoxiom "He who protects everything, protects nothing" but I am not sure, barring actually passing a FEDERAL concealed carry law, that this will do much more than have people jumping at shadows.

Which might be exactly what the damn terrorists want. Yom Kippur is coming up. Look at the recent threatcon, we have a possible attack in Norman, OK, we have possible incidents in Philly and Penn, both are "suspicious package" nature. But the intell is still there, and it's got the pro's concerned. Something's up. Al-Queda does have a historical facination with trains (Madrid and London) so it seems on the face, Why not?

Then again, this could be an effort to draw police resources away from synogogues in the Jewish parts of Brooklyn. This damn stuff can have one jumping at bloody shadows. In any case, stay observant. Ramadan and Yom Kippur intersect this year, so does the anniversery of Bush ordering strikes on Afghanistan. Jihadihamster trifecta...

In any case, YMMV.

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Part of New York's Pennsylvania Station was sealed off on Friday morning, closing the portion of the station where Amtrak trains operate, police said.
ADVERTISEMENT

The precaution came one day after New York officials said they had intelligence that the city's subway system was under a credible and specific threat of possible attack.

A policeman on the scene said only, "We are checking something out."

Commuters could still enter the subway at the station.

Well, don't feel bad, because bad taste makes us laugh, and maybe we have to laugh. That's a famous American (and NY) tradition. It's our equivalent of the stiff upper lip.

>>They seem to like this number, 19<<

Something with the number 9 and/or 1, like 9 11.

Possibly...Chapter 9 of the Quran?

A belated welcome to FR! We love converts. (I read your page).

My sympathies for all the stuff you have to deal with at Penn State, but stand strong and tall as a college conservative. My daughter went there from 1994 to 1998 and it was unbelievable, the tales she had to tell about the pagans who populate that place.

BTW, don't go to any games in the stadium this season.

Thanks.

94-98 were the "wild years". A cop was telling me about the wild parties and riots in Beaver canyon. How you couldn't walk through without getting slop on your head(like a medieval alley)and how they had to call hundreds of state police every other weekend just to stop the riots.

Any reason for the games? We're actually winning this year. I was planning on going to the big OSU game tonight but had to go to NYC at the last minute. The tailgaters have been camping here since Wednesday.

About the games--I was referring to the "other" terrorist targets--college football stadiums. The kid who blew himself up outside the OU stadium last Saturday night was NOT a lone suicide, as some would have us believe.

But that's a long story. There are many threads about it.
They are referenced at the top of the TOPICS page.
