Plane crash caused by faulty speed sensors?

Main points

~Plane crashed, faulty speed sensor may be behind the crash.
~Air france replacing speed sensors to prevent another crash.

Opinions

~i think they should have replaced them sooner then these lives would not have been lost. And also, shouldn't they check everything before they take off? must have slipped their minds.
~They also should have packed in an inflatable raft and paddles to sail back to shore unscathed.
~next time they should also get better spped sensors which are more durable so they won't spoil after a few times.

H1N1

Main points:

-H1N1 is one of the most dangerous flu-People are dying because of this fluOpinions:I know that we've all heard about the Influenza A H1N1. This flu is quite dangerous. So far,the flu has spreaded to as close as Malaysia! People all over the world have been taking precaution about this flu. There are 86 deaths globally and 11 168 confirmed cases in 42 countries.

-This dangerous flu reminds peopls about the breakout of the Sars virus in 2003. There were more than 800 deaths due to the virus. In that year, all schools in Singapore were closed temporarily.The number of people infected by the virus is increasing by the day. More and more people have been taking precaution about this virus. Professors in the US have been trying to create a vaccine that could cure the Influenza A H1N1. I think that they must try their best to find a vaccine as soon as possible because the number of people infected with the flu is increasing.

-There are 86 reported deaths on Saturday. The Philippines became the 42nd country to report a case of H1N1 flu. Europe has taken stringent measures to stop the outbreak in its tracks, including the closure of high schools in Rome and placing soldiers in quarantine in Spain.Majority of the cases are in Mexico and the US. They are the responsible ones for the deaths and comfirmed cases of the Influenza A H1N1. Most of the family members of these people must be sad as their loved ones' lives are at stake. If Iwere the family members, I would be sad too. In time to come, I hope there is a vaccine to cure the Influenza A H1N1.
