Australian pilot claims World War II gas tests killed US prisoners
Former Australian bomber pilot John Hampshire told UPI that in 1944 he and other pilots bombed a Barrier Reef island with 360 gas canisters destroying life on the island. He said U S prisoners serving life sentences were brought as volunteers and none survived. Australia’s defense minister ordered a full investigation into the allegations as compensation efforts proceed for other gas experiments.

Flooded South Reevaluates After Choctawatchee River Rises
Floodwaters swamped Alabama and Florida as the Choctawatchee River crested near a 46 year record at Bonifay and receded slowly. About 1,500 people were evacuated from Holmes and surrounding counties, one man died when his car was swept away, and officials forecast weeks before backwaters and crops recover. Mississippi River flood pressures persisted with 695,000 acres inundated and 600 families displaced, as agriculture officers predict $21.8 million in losses.
