[0:13] chicks when a miracle of science

[0:15] appeared from some of the other eggs,

[0:17] white Java chickens, a breed that has

[1:24] commuters would have inhaled lethal

[1:26] doses of the bacteria without even

[1:28] knowing they'd been attacked. By today,

[1:32] a panicked exodus would have virtually

[1:34] emptied our [music]

[1:36] fictional city. The final toll would be

[1:39] staggering. the United States would be

[1:42] changed forever. The experts say it's

[1:45] not a question of if this sort of thing

[1:47] will happen. It's simply a question of
