Good job SAM! This was a really good article, and I still can’t believe that someone would actually get away with something like that. Well hopefully they punish the guy for putting a bomb.

I agree with Deanna on this article because it is hard to believe that someone would get away with doing such a crime, as bombing a place, great jobb.

Very good article Samantha. That’s sad that the guy boarded a plane and bombed it probably killing many people. But how can he have gotten away with that?
