Swine Flu Samples Explode On Swiss Train - Report

LONDON (Dow Jones)--The Swiss authorities have confirmed Tuesday the explosion on a train of a container transporting swine flu virus samples Monday, but said there was no danger to public health, South African Web site Independent Online reports Tuesday.

A laboratory employee picked up the samples of the H1N1 virus in Zurich to transport them to Geneva, but the package exploded near Fribourg and Lausanne, the report says.

It is thought dry ice had melted after being placed incorrectly near the container, which caused a build up of pressure.

Police at the scene confirmed two people suffered slight injuries.
