i didn't say it can't happen.. i'm saying it's probably unlikely any time soon. even you said that the title is a bit misleading..

and that is sensationalism. worst-case scenarios, what if's, etc. just like the bird flu nonsense. the media picked that story up and ran with it. stories with what if's scenarios. "are we prepared?!" "what are our leaders doing?!" etc.

and now what? there's barely a peep, because the next big story has moved in... sensationalism.
