WHITFIELD: A mysterious outbreak of Legionnaires' disease in New York has now claimed four lives in New York City. All of the dead were older individuals with underlying medical issues. But dozens of others have been hospitalized. CNN's Sara Ganim is following the story for us from New York.</s>DANIEL TEJADA, RECOVERED FROM LEGIONNAIRES' DISEASE: I was about to wait one more day to go to a hospital and if I would have waited that one more day, I don't think I would have been here right now.</s>UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: The CDC needs to come in this -- in this community.</s>DR. JAY VARMA, DEPUTY COMMISIONER, NYC DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND MENTAL HYGIENE: We think it's very possible that there will be an increase in cases over the next seven days.</s>UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: We thought it was just regular pneumonia? You know? He got sick and then we found out that it was Legionnaires' -- that's when everybody really got into a panic.</s>GANIM: Now, New York health officials saying that this does not affect the drinking water or swimming pools or water fountains. That's all important, of course, 'cause we're in the summer months right now. Investigators now trying to look for a long-term plan for those buildings where the disease was found so they can make sure that those cooling towers stay safe and healthy. And for residents of that neighborhood, there is a Townhall meeting tomorrow where questions will be answered.</s>WHITFIELD: All right. Sara Ganim, thank you so much. All right. Straight ahead, we may be one step closer -- a big step closer, perhaps -- to knowing the fate of Flight MH370. What French investigators will be doing in the coming days to try to solve that mystery.
