WOW...this one is kinda scary, as it could potentially affect humans as well...
Makes you wonder if some sort of chemical warfare was also aboard the planes, and was released when they exploded...and it is like a phase two of the attacks...with a more serious and longterm result for potentially many more people...everyone involved in search and rescue, people who escaped the building and anyone within breathing distance of the crash!!

Whenever my family and I talk of war/bomb/ etc...I always say I would rather be in the path of a direct hit, rather than a survivor...and the potential for something like this would be the reason why I would prefer to not survive an initial attack...

[davet]

problem being that you can be in the path of a direct hit and still be a survivor, that can be worse...but it will be interesting to see how these diagnoses were made and any more follow up are done

[Tambrey]

yes, that would be the worst, to survive a direct hit like that...

This is something that I hope they continue to do extensive research on...

I too would like to see what the actual diagnoses were, and much more info as well. There may be some morbid link between all of these, or it may be just some bizarre coincidence. The article says how many dogs have died, but does not give a total so we can know what the true percentage is. It also doesn't state the age of the dogs at the time of death. There is not enough info in this article to reach any conclusion.
