...planes fell from the sky, the Kremlin seemed to be in denial about the cause. Two aircraft left Tuesday night from the same Moscow airport, and dropped off the radar screens within 60 seconds of each other. At 10.53 p.m. traffic controllers lost contact with Flight 1047, a Siberia Airlines flight from Moscow to the Black Sea resort of Sochi. A minute later, Volga-Aviaexpress Flight 1303 from Moscow to Volgograd disappeared. The wreckage of the planes was quickly found. In all, at least 90 people had been killed. The massive, near-simultaneous nature of the catastrophes was only...

"That's a frightening possibility." If H5N1 does evolve into a flu that humans can spread, a vaccine could be developed but would take...
...everyone is won over. Greenpeace, which kicked up a big fuss over the Erika spill, is frustrated because Total continues to use a leaky pipeline in Siberia and wants the company to show a greater commitment to developing renewable-energy sources such as wind and solar power. "The level of dialogue with BP or Shell is totally different," says Bruno Rebell, Greenpeace's head of international programs. At Henderson Global Investors, which manages about $127 billion in assets, fund managers also think Total needs to do more. A September 2001 accident at a Total fertilizer plant in Toulouse that killed...
