Any idea what the early symptons are?

US Coast Guard Petty Officer Robert Swanson said no signs of the plane had been found as of late Wednesday.

Okay. I am ignorant of search methods, etc., when a plane disappears, and I know zip of the weather in the area. Any chance it's "just" underwater somewhere?

(I suspect that if it had been spreading anthrax post-disappearance, the casualty count even a few hours later would be higher than one. If it's higher than one by the time I send this, disregard this parenthetical remark.)

And now the Anthrax case in Fla...hmmmmm

[newzjunkey]

Any update on the miss Florida HAZMAT truck story posted the same day as the plane went missing? It was out of Gainesville.

The truck and it's legal driver had gone missing on the 14th of Sept. The homing device stopped transmitting. He's left behind a young daughter and gave no indication to family he'd be going somewhere.

Bump for updates to the cropduster and missing truck stories.

Why South Florida? Where are the two largest concentrations of Jewish people in America? N.Y., South Fla.

[Clinton's a rapist]

I suspect that if it had been spreading anthrax post-disappearance, the casualty count even a few hours later would be higher than one.

Supposedly, the aerosol produced by a crop duster would be insufficiently fine to deliver the anthrax very effectively. It may well be that the terrorists have already shot their wad, and the casualties will be fairly low. We shall see.

[John Jamieson]

Terrorists were investigating crop dusters 40 miles south of Lantana. Maybe this guy wasn't a victim but a grower?

[jwalsh07]

Everything you want to know about Anthrax

As for the crop duster, my money says its at the bottom of the ocean. You would think maybe a person or two would notice a crop duster, wouldn't you?
