All those plane-related incidents makes me want to never fly again.

Yeah, you do that. An epidemic hazard will eventually hit your area and kill you anyway. Or the mother of all snowstorms will hit and freeze the east side of the US. That or you'll trip and break your neck, whichever comes first...
.But my question is why is this on the funhouse? It's serious enough that it belongs on the general chat.

Blame the media. They're the ones responsible for creating a paranoid/alarmist society where even the smallest problem is cause for panic (case in point, the Aqua Teen movie promo scare).

So far no one has been diagnosed with PSP. The last time PSP forced a closure of Northland waters for shellfish gathering was in October 2003, when the west coast from Kaipara to Manganui Bluff was affected. In February 2005 a different toxin forced closure of the Bay of Islands. The health board will now mount a publicity campaign warning people not to eat Bay of Islands shellfish - including signs at boat ramps and beaches, and warnings through DOC and marinas. The Health Ministry will alert GPs. There is no way of predicting how long the toxicity will last, Ms Watts said. "Further sampling will be undertaken and the public will be informed when the limits have declined to below regulatory levels." Anyone with queries about shellfish safety can call Elizabeth Watts on (09) 430-4101 ext. 7852.

I swear, Calgary's like the safest place in the UNIVERSE. The only thing we die from is skyrocketing house prices.
I don't remember Mt. Saint Helens, but I'm told there was some ash around here.
