News of the swine flu outbreak spreads world-wide via the Web

Seen at New York Times New Blog

A reader named Matt just drew our attention to a swine flu video posted on YouTube that has been getting a lot of attention on the Web today. The video (Link below) shows two public service announcements from the 1970s, warning people of the dangers of swine flu. The version Matt sent us was posted recently, and seem to be a copy of video that was first uploaded to YouTube in 2008 by a television producer named Jeff Krulik. Mr. Krulik wrote that he had come across the two P.S.A.s in the National Archives and says that they were made in 1976, in the wake of a swine flu outbreak at Fort Dix, in New Jersey.
