Explosion

While sitting in my room writing this blog, thousands, millions of things are happening. Someone may be just learned that they got into a college, or someone just got fired. We can’t guess what’s happening around the world, but anything can be happening. Like a collapse of a crater can cause lava explosions in Hawaii.

When I learned about this news, I immediately wanted to know if there were any injured people. Fortunately, there weren’t. The lava was unable to reach to places where people lived, but still it sounded scary. According to the news that area has always been dangerous. The first lava explosion had happened around 1800s, and later on continued to take place in 1920s. The most recent one before 2015 was in 2012. The latest one was the highest one according to the news. 

The news is a good source of information to get informed about the lava explosion in general. It tells us how big the lava was, and what kind of an earthquake happened following the lava explosion. We can read about a survey that is about the volcanos in Hawaii. However, I believe that the survey is not mentioned a lot, so the information that is given is not specific enough. The news gives a lot of numbers that might confuse the readers, so I think that the usage of statistics can be reduced a little bit.

If I was the editor of this news, I would start with a hook that would take everyone’s attention to the news. The news starts with a summary of the news, and I think that it can be more interesting. I would make interviews with the people who witnessed to any of these lava explosions, so that people can understand how important the issue is from the view point of a person who lives there. Because I think that by giving some statistics not everyone would understand, the news should contain more of the ideas of daily life, like interviews. 

I learned from this news that Hawaii is a dangerous place in terms of lava explosions. By looking at how often the explosions happen, we can understand that the explosions are not that rare in Hawaii. 

After reading this news, I remembered my roommate’s mother. My roommate kept telling me how her mother was in Hawaii for a business trip, and she wanted to go, too. The first thing I asked her, when I saw her after reading this news was about her mom. Fortunately nothing happened, and the explosion had happened far from where her mother was. 

After learning that Hawaii is a quite dangerous place in terms of volcanoes, I started to think about my friends who live in Tahiti. Tahiti is located in French Polynesia, and is a couple of hours away from Hawaii. It is a small island. It is probably smaller than Hawaii. The night I read the news, I looked at a Facebook page of one of my friends who lives in Tahiti, and saw that nothing had happened to them.
