30 November 2004

A Mountain Rescue team has joined a New Plymouth-based helicopter and fixed-wing aircraft to search for an aircraft missing in the Mount Egmont area. Rescue Coordination Centre New Zealand is coordinating the search after being alerted by Christchurch Air Traffic Control.

Although the weather in the search area is fine, heavy cloud is hampering search efforts.

The missing aircraft is a Piper Seneca PA 34 and is thought to be carrying two passengers.

Uh oh. Bird flu – often deadly to humans - is not only being transmitted from infected birds to dairy cows, but is now travelling between dairy cows. As of last Friday, Bloomberg News reports, there were 32 American dairy herds with H5N1 infections. They’re located in Idaho, New Mexico, Texas, South Dakota, Kansas, Michigan, Ohio and North Carolina. Reportedly, many of the cows are asymptomatic.
