It was a Cessna flying to Thunder Bay. The pilot is dead. It doesn't day where in Osborne Village. I have a couple of friends who live out there.

Yeah...looks like the pilot was the only casualty...

Haven't seen any pics of it yet...

Wow...is there ever something wrong with it...more Apache information hijacking???

Here...try this on for size...

She crashed into the train tracks, so no property damage either...I think this pilot should be given a posthumous medal for her amazing aerial feat...

Apache's are the new Gremlins!

Why do I feel like Elle Woods? :?

It Turns out she was from Moncton,NB, and only filling in for the regular pilot.Bad luck on her part.

Among the cargo were samples of flu and herpes viruses :? I had to find this out on an American Website.

RE: Federal Express cargo

So why were they shipping viruses to Thunder Bay? I can understand them shipping viruses here because we have the research lab, although I think Fed-Exing them needs a second look. As far as I know, there's really nothing like that in Thunder Bay though.

One would hope it was packed in some crash-resistant container, and not the usual bubble-pack. 8O

They've never really said anything except that the virus was likely destroyed by the fire. "Likely". Hmmm.

Wasn't there an incident here last year with a Fed-Ex truck and some Anthrax or something?
