The search is on for 27 people who may have been exposed to tuberculosis while traveling on a Greyhound bus.

Canadian public health officials say there’s a “moderate risk” the passengers contracted the disease during a trip from Toronto to Windsor on Aug. 31, ctv.ca reported.

It's been a while since someone decapitated someone on a flight.

Wasn't there a AC Zip flight that had to be quarantined for fear of a SARS incident a long while back? (Obviously because it was Zip)

What about the latest stabbing on Greyhound 2 weeks ago near White River, Ontario. Didn't hear too much about that one for some reason.

Because the victim was treated and released, somehow with his head still attached.

no sig because apparently quoting people in context is offensive to them.
