A couple of other interesting stories from the foreign press:

Al Qaeda planned to spray toxic agents in planes going to US

Two or so weeks ago, it was burning gas lines in New Mexico that trapped the campers and killed them.

I forget what was connected to that report, but there was more.

Thanks!

[oceanview]

there is always something going wrong on long island roads.

[Revel]

You know...The more I read that stuff the more is sounds like they are or are planning to release biological elements into the air secretly.

[TBall]

It wouldn't be hard they could just drive around in the van. The other day I went outside and it smelled like plastic burning and I thought of that scenario.

[rickylc]

They aren't recomending any treatment as no good explanation has been given for what it might be.

If I go by the posted article, they are saying it's naptha, the agent used to give natural gas an odor, supposedly safe. I will go back and check the Sarnia chem spill story to see what was released there.

But I've definitely been having an extraordinarily rough time typing and concentrating all day. Still trying to find other news on it and will check the local station again tonight for an update.

throw some disinformation out there about planes and football games and everybody looks at that instead of the real targets

[rickylc]

I noticed it about 10 miles north of Toledo, Ohio while driving south on US 23 at 1:00 AM this morning. It persited until I got south of Toledo and turned on to Rt.25, a distance of about 25 miles. The news repported the odor covering all of greater Toledo, Ohio for most of the day.

Has anyone been able to translate this???

[Revel]

Yeah...Like those. Is there anything kind of biological or chemical attack that you would initaly recover from and then it may take a long long time to actually get deathly sick from it?

[freeperfromnj]

I can't get into to that group

[Revel]

"I'll try to get a good 8 hours of sleep in tonight, recharge the batteries."

Sounds like a great plan. Just do let us know how you feel tomorrow. I will say a prayer for you.

[mfccinsd]

This article isn't the most current (8 hours old), but this one paragraph said something I'd not heard before about howthey though a bio attack could factor in...

http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2004/02/02/terror/main597449.shtml

This is just the part that struck me...see link for whole article...

Three intelligence officials tell The Washington Post that the feared threats to the flights include the release of an undetectable biological agent like smallpox or anthrax, the release of a chemical agent that disables the crew so the plane can be hijacked, and sneaking a radiological device aboard a plane. These feared are based on vague intelligence.

[Revel]

Geeze...you have to ground every flight forever to defend against that. Reminds me a little too much about those flights that had odors on board.

[nw_arizona_granny]

Rick, did you phone the hospital and talk to them, or even Homeland Security? Or poison Control also has a number, usually in the front of your phone book.

If you can feel the difference in 12 to 20 hours, then it would appear that you have been exposed to something.

Don't count on a good sleep, as it might be a final one.

Were you alone? Or driving with the window down while exposed to it?

[Revel]

True. They could do this in any building that they choose to do it. Or from any vehical as they drove though busy areas. They could either be vacinated against it themselves or else they could willing to die doing it.

[Revel]

Do you have someone around to keep an eye on you through the night ?

[Oorang]

Do you know anyone that works in the ER, or hospital in any capacity? Make some phone calls, inquire as to people coming into the ER with symptoms. Call the local tv news, radio, newspaper; see what they know, if anything. If you were exposed to something you need to know what it is.

[StillProud2BeFree]

Yep - I posted a summary earlier on this thread. It's a rather strange posting that has nothing to go with the graphic attached to it. It is about an internal political dispute within Lebanese Hizbullah
