Observations of the compact H II region W28A2 (G05.89-0.4) are presented in five molecular lines, CO (1-0), 13CO (1-0), C18O (1-0), CS (2-1), and C34S (2-1). In addition, lines of CH3CN and CH3C2H were detected serendipitously during the 13CO observations. These data show that the radio continuum source is at the center of a compact, dense, and energetic bipolar outflow. Estimates of the flow momentum, energy, and luminosity suggest that this is probably the most powerful bipolar outflow yet detectd. This is consistent with the hypothesis that there is a general correlation between luminosity of the underlying radiative source and the flow energy since this object is also the most luminous far-infrared source observed to have an outflow.
