This Is How The World Ends: Scientifically Engineered Avian Flu

This is how the world ends, its not a zombie outbreak, it isn't nuclear warfare, it starts with one curious scientist doing something he shouldn't... Linked in this post is an article with the whole story about how a virologist named Ron Fouchier decided to try and enhance an already dangerous contagion. His attempts made the virus go airborne and evolve to make it spread even faster.

The video embedded below gives a great general idea of what I am so interested in, and what I believe to be the future.
