I went to this site: ***http://911research.wtc7.net/cache/sept11/victims/victims_list.htm*** clicked on a link and then was quickly redirected several times and then that message popped up. Is my mac infected ? What should I do ?
MacBook Pro with Retina display, OS X Mavericks (10.9.4)
Quit Safari, choosing Force Quit from the Apple menu if needed, and then launch it with the Shift key held down. If that doesn't work, disconnect the computer from the Internet and try again.
You may also want to run Adware Medic.

Het cadbao, if that is the link where u get the virus nobody is going to open it. I thinks it's smarter to post a picture/screen of it.
Okay that is a link to the page I was at when I clicked another link. But actually yeah that makes sense I'll reply with a screenshot in a sec...
Here is a screenshot of that second link in original post: http://i.imgur.com/9xzPpU9.jpg (I was on this page then clicked a link on that page which initiated the redirect and the message seen on the screenshot below)

It's not malware. It's a JavaScript scam that only affects your web browser, and only temporarily.
1. Some of those scam pages can be dismissed very easily. Press command-W to close the tab or window. A huge box will pop up. Press the return key and both the box and the page will close. If that doesn't happen, continue.
2. From the Safari menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Security
and uncheck the box marked Enable JavaScript. Leave the preferences dialog open.
Close the malicious window or tab.
Re-enable JavaScript and close the preferences dialog.
3. If the Preferences menu item is grayed out, quit Safari. Force quit if necessary. Relaunch it by holding down the shift key and clicking its icon in the Dock. From the menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data
to get rid of any cookies or other data left by the server. Open your Downloads folder and delete anything you don't recognize.
Okay thank you all, I was able to quit safari and open a new browser. You have allayed my fears
