An outbreak of swine flu, known as Swine Influenza A (H1N1), has health officials
concerned. To understand the level of anxiety, review the primary sources in this
story (including "live maps," from Google Earth and current CDC updates)
http://www.awesomestories.com/disasters/spanish-flu/swine-flu-outbreak-of-2009 and
investigate the Flu Pandemic of 1918 (which ultimately caused more deaths than
World War One). http://www.awesomestories.com/disasters/spanish-flu
Also, during May, we remember the Hindenburg explosion, the Lusitania's sinking,
Kent State shootings, the Franklin expedition (including recovery of crew-member
mummies, found years later) and the trial/execution of Joan of Arc. Learn the
details of those, and other events, in this summary of May Highlights.
