On the morning of July 30, 1976, a young doctor examined an elderly veteran at Bloomsburg

Hospital in Pennsylvania, desperately looking for a way to keep this man alive. His lungs were

filling up with fluid, but no matter how many times the doctor drained them, the fluid just

kept coming back.

The man suddenly began to spasm in his bed, coughing up a bloody pink froth. Dr. Ernest Campbell

tried to stay calm, but he knew he was running out of options. He'd seen people die from

respiratory failure before, but this had progressed faster and more suddenly than anything he'd ever experienced.

And this patient was only one of several in the hospital with the same disturbing symptoms.

In fact, Dr. Campbell had heard about similar cases appearing across the entire state,

and so he was terrified that this was the onset of a deadly epidemic.

And if it was, there might be no way to stop it.
