Then there is the ValuJet theory. On May 11, 1996, spare oxygen-generating canisters stowed as freight aboard ValuJet Flight 592 ignited and sent the DC-9 plunging into the Everglades. The generators had been mistakenly marked empty, and the crew never knew that the plane was carrying hazardous material. Could similar undeclared baggage have doomed Swissair 111? In 1990, air personnel discovered undeclared hazardous cargo--usually because it leaked or emitted a smell--on 63 occasions; by last year, that number had ballooned to 349.

As for the atmosphere--well, let's just say that for every one part oxygen, you'll find three or four parts sexual energy. Down here, it's a force that's as visible as the haze that pervades the surrounding swamplands. And you thought that dorm rooms without air conditioning would be the only hot and steamy thing you'd encounter this summer...
