[0:38] today. I'm Steve Croft and this is
[0:40] Sunday morning. We have a rapidly
[0:42] developing story to tell you about this
[0:44] morning. An Egyptian passenger jet with
[0:46] over 200 people on board is missing off
[0:49] the coast of Massachusetts. The Egypt
[0:51] AirJet, a Boeing 767, had taken off from
[0:54] New York's Kennedy Airport shortly after

[1:47] >> It sounds shocking. 20,000 Americans
[1:51] will die of the flu this year. But

[1:56] half a million Americans died of the
[1:58] flu. 40 million people worldwide
[2:02] this Sunday morning when the flu turned
[2:04] killer and could it happen again?
[2:08] Misery for some has always existed side
[2:11] by side with good fortune for others.
[2:13] And while many of the fortunate simply
