Deaths from flu and not swine flu, coincidence?

A group of Canadian scientists expect to find, beneath a thick layer of ice, the only retained copies of the virus of the "Spanish flu" caused the biggest epidemic in world history. Between September and November 1918, the disease killed more than 20 million people around the world. Only in the United States killed more people by this epidemic in the first and second World War, Korea and Vietnam combined. Scientists know that studying a very dangerous virus could be used to understand and combat other more modern and just as deadly as Ebola or AIDS, for example.

And how a particle track of a few atoms which disappeared for nearly a century ... in the bodies of their victims have been frozen immediately after death, and never thawed. To this end, Canadian scientists are digging at the cemetery in Longyearbyen, a frozen Arctic island, where they are buried 7 young victims of this epidemic. Once unearthed, the bodies will be taken without thawing-a-maximum-security laboratories around the world, the risk that the virus may continue active.
