Well, technically, then any plane that would have an attack while not on the ground would be not on U.S. soil. The inclusion of ‘aircraft’ would seem to include an act against an American plane even if it is in the air. Had a plane left JFK on the way to London and a serious attack occurred that would certainly seem to meet the criteria. This was a United States owned plane going to a U.S. Airport and the attack happened on the final approach to the airport. This certainly wasn’t an attack against Serbia or Myanmar. What say ye all?? Was the plane over U.S. soil when the attack occurred? Or does that even matter in this case??

Per the entry from k1v1n, I stand corrected. I had used inaccurate unofficial reports. I concur that as of November 30th, 2009 the official death toll stood at 8,867. No actions will be taken on this market until the previously indicated market end of December 31,2009. And the actions taken will be based on the cited web sites. thanks to k1v1n for catching the potential error.
How many global deaths will come from the newly discovered Swine Flu outbreak "A (H1N1)"? -
I am opening this up for discussion. With about 13,000 global deaths it is obvious we are well in to a MAJOR epidemic. However, it is also obvious that we will not reach 100,000 deaths worldwide. I am willing to pay this out as a MAJOR epidemic if all participants agree it is wise and safe to do. What are your thoughts??

Considering the definition decided upon previously, are we to gauge whether this is a hurricane or a tropical storm based on the intensity at the time the ‘hit’ occurs? – Previously explained as – “The NHC site (link below) gives, in its “Glossary of NHC Terms” the following definition of “Landfall” — “The intersection of the surface center of a tropical cyclone with a coastline.” So, that’s the one I’ll go with”
In which month will the first Atlantic hurricane hit (make landfall on) the US Mainland in 2009?
