Analysis: stories like these always remind me that bad things could happen at any time. The article wasn’t biased in any way and just gave cold hard facts. The audience isn’t directly targeted to one group, and serves the purpose of just increasing attention to this tragedy. This article is important because it raises awareness for plane companies look more into their planes to see if they are functioning correctly. I can relate this to the Gilded age and the Great train wreck of 1856 in which two trains crashed into each other killin over 50 people. Although The Great Train Wreck was more server, both accidents were related to automobiles failing.
