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. http://www.awesomestories.com/newsletters/may-09-newsletter Group access to the site is free for all schools, libraries and educators.
