Tanker truck fire closes all southbound lanes in San Francisco

The article I read about is about a tanker truck fire closing southbound lanes in San Francisco. The tanker truck crashed on october 19th. When the tanker truck crashed, it blocked all the southbound 101 lanes in San Francisco. Some Caltrans workers went to go clean up all tune debris and wreckage that the tanker truck caused. The southbound lane will probably take a long time to make it so that vehicles cam go on the highway again. When the tanker truck crashed, it also broke off some guardrail on the side and ito the guardrail dropped to the streets that were under it.

I felt sad for all the people that got hurt in it. I also felt scared cause it would've been scary for the people that got caught in the fire. My mom got into a car crash one, but it wasn't as and as this one. My mom was turning a corner and the some person wasn't looking and hit the side of my moms truck, but not the side she was sitting on. Nothing bad happened to my mom and she was ok, but our trucks right side front door was busted.

Insidious

The movie Insidious was directed by James Wan. Insidious was produced by Jason Blum, Oren Peli and Steven Schneider. The actors in Insidious are Patrick Wilson, Rose Byrne, Ty Simpkins, Barbara Hereshey, Lin Shaye, Andrew Astor and Leigh Whannell. Insidious is about a kid who falls off a ladder and goes into a coma, but it isn't a normal coma. The kid goes into something called an Astral dimension and that's where the demons live. The kid gets stuck there and then the demons try to go into the human world and try to control the boys body to cause pain to others. The parents of the boy go and call help from a person who is used to dealing with those types of things.
Some of the good qualities about Insidious are that it actually is a scary movie and it isn't gory at all. Another good quality about this movie is that the effects look real and aren't some cheap bad effects. The acting in this movie was also very good. I don't think their were any bad qualities about Insidious. It was a very good movie.
I recommend this movie to people who are 14 or over because it is a really scary movie and kids below that might get to scared. Also because their are some swears in Insidious to.

Guns stolen from SWAT training site

The article i read about is about guns being stolen from LAPD SWATS training site. Over 40 guns had been stolen, 21 of them were Mp-5 submachine guns and 12 were large caliber gun. They were in a secure SWAT training site. The guns are only supposed to fire blanks, but they could be made to fire normal bullets again. The guns were discovered missing when a police officer went to the building at 9 in the morning. The officer also found some electrical equipment still left in the building. The building was not guarded, but it still was secure with some bolt lock and a heavy metal roll gate.

I felt curious about why people would steal so much guns. I also feel scared for the people in LA because if they robbers could get the guns to fire normal bullets again then then lots of people in LA are going to get hurt. I also felt bad for the SWAT people because they are supposed to be smart people who thinkn things through before they do them, but they got stolen from. I think the LAPD SWAT should've been more secure about their weapons. They should've kept them in a more secuf building Like their headquarters.

30 jailers punished for inmates beating

The article I read about was jailers punished for beating inmates. In the last two years some jailers in Los Angeles have been beating inmates and 30 jailers have been punished for doing so. Some deputies get away with abusing the inmates because they make up some justification story about why they beat them up. Most of the deputies don't even get caught because of no evidence and the inmates are to scared to say so. One of the sheriffs said he was gonna install 69 camera by the end of the year in the jail.

In this article I felt kind of sorry for the inmates because they we being abused and the they weren't doing anything bad in the jail. The punishment could also be good because then when they get out of jail they Wont be tempted to do anything bad or else they will get that punishment.

Hurricane Jova nears strike on mexicos coast

In the article I read about hurricane Jova striking near Mexico's coast. Hurricane Jova was a category 3 hurricane which had maximum winds of 115 MPH. Jalisco state authorities evacuated around 500 people from the coast because the hurricane was going to hit the coast first. Authorities also set up shelters for people who live in inland towns because it was mountainous and it could cause floods and landslides. Around 65 shelters had opened on the coasts of Jalisco, Colima and Nayarit. The storm surge is supposed to cause a lot of flooding on the coast between the major seaport of manzanillo, east of barra de navidad and other places along that coast. The hurricane is supposed to go away by the time of the pan American games.

I felt kind of sad for the people who will lose their homes to the hurricane and flooding because most of them probably had those homes for a long time. I also felt sad for the people who might die because they probably don't deserve it and they'll also make their family members sad.
