From The Front Blood Continued From Page One technician at the center. Their metroplex location gives them a much larger donor base, she said, so their supplies have been less affected by the flu. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control in Atlanta have officially called this round of flu an "epidemic" and reported this week that, in the regions hit hardest, six of 10 people had either the flu or its symptoms. Local health officials have said that Lamar County is facing a near epidemic, but the situation now seems to be improving.

People recovering from the flu, assuming they feel able to give blood, must also be off of any kind of antibiotic or medication for a full week before they are able to donate, said Delena Young, director of Stewart Blood Center's Paris drawing center, in room 446 at McCuistion. The flu has squelched almost all "regular" blood donations in Paris, she said. The only recent donations have come from people giving blood to help one specific person or case. Those one-time donors are welcome, but "they need to make it a habit," said Ms. Young, and start donating blood on a regular basis.

Then fresh supplies could be kept at high levels to help cope with unforeseen circumstances, such as a plane crash or another epidemic. It is estimated that only about 5 percent of the population donates blood, said Ms. Redb'ng, and that compounds the problem. Whether it's a fear of needles, pain or diseases like AIDS, or' simply because they don't think they have time, the vast majority of eligible donors never gives blood. "A lot of people could that don't," said Ma.

Young. She added that it is not possible to contract AIDS from donating blood. All needles, tubes, bottles and other equipment are new, sterile and used only once, then thrown away. But fear of disease has not lessened blood giving in general, and is certainly not responsible for the current shortage, said Ms. Redling.

The flu is. "We drew more blood last year than we ever have," she said. "I've worked here since January of last year, and this is the first time we've ever been in this situation. "We really just need people to go into the drawing centers" as soon as possible. The English Channel was dry some 18,000 years ago, during earth's last major glaciation, says National Geographic.

Kennedy International Airport, the airline said in a statement from Bogota. "There were bodies on top of bodies on top of bodies," said Jeff Race, 26, a New York City paramedic who lives a half-mile away. He said he was the first rescuer at the scene. "Some were alive, some were dead. Limbs were bent every way you can imagine." "People were screaming.

Most of them were still strapped in their seats," he said. "It was just mangled, twisted metal." The 23-year-old jetliner, more than 90 minutes late from Bogota after a stop in Medellin, Colombia, broke into at least three pieces, with the cockpit coming to rest on a patio. Rescuers arrived to find bloodied passengers scrambling out of exits.
