Revised - Leads 2
131 people were killed in a fiery crash aboard a US airplane coming from Chicago; the worst US disaster in three years. Outside Pittsburgh yesterday, the plane violently smashed into the ground upon descending.
Be careful how you phrase things. This makes it sound like there was a wreck aboard the plane, instead of a plane crash.
Keep it simple. Start with the people killed and/or the crash, not where it happened. Keep your opinion ("horrendous") out of the story -- trust your readers to understand that 131 people dead is horrendous without you having to say so.
Always having fun, though other people may not view my daily schedule as so.
I go to school, work, do homework, work out, play basketball - repeat.
Occasionally I go back home to hang out with my family and my old friends... or just do laundry and have my parents take me on a Safeway shopping spree!
In my free time I play guitar and a few other instruments and play video games.
