Matthew Zapata - St. Petersburg Metro Explosion

Summary: CNN released an article that described the events that have happened all to do with the explosion on the metro this Monday. according to three Russian news agencies, 10 people were killed in the explosion and many more were injured. Although no group has claimed the attack, Russian prime minister has called it a "terrorist attack". Another device was found at a different location and disarmed, but the metro was shut down for further safety.

Synthesis: It's saddens me to hear of this tragic event. Before reading this article, I heard little news about the explosion. Some details of this event are still unclear to me, so I would like to read into this more. Reading about the explosion automatically made me think of the Boston marathon terrorist attack. Although, the Boston attack, at my knowledge, was more extreme, the sadness of seeing innocent lives getting taken away is just as heartbreaking.

  1. It is terrible how this terrorist event has had so little coverage. I wish that people were made more aware of important events like this.
