Current Events Assignment

1.  My article is about a cargo ship that sank.

 

2.  The title of my article is: Doomed cargo ship reportedly left normal course, sailed into the track of Hurricane Joaquin

 

3.  I got this article from Fox News.

 

4.  The El Faro cargo ship strayed from its course and sailed at close to full speed into Hurricane Joaquin and sank.  The ship was last heard from in the morning on Oct. 1.  Many believe the ship sank in 15,000 feet of water east of the Bahamas. The ship was carrying 28 Americans and five Polish crew members.

 

5.  This doesn’t affect me very much. It does make me sad that people died. It also makes me feel more concerned about boats. But, I like to fish and tube so I will probably get over it. Hurricanes really scare me so it is hard for me to imagine dying because of   one.

 

6.  This does affect the world. I have a feeling that this event may cause some debate. People will probably start taking more precautions with storms. Also, I’m sure the investigation to find out what exactly happened will continue for a while. I think that staying on route will be more enforced for cargo ships from now on.
