Summary-- Today a middle school girl was attacked by a hawk in Boston. The girl was on a tour of Fenway park when the Red- Tailed hawk attacked. The hawk made its nest near the press box. The girl came within 40 feet of the nest and the protective hawk swooped in for the kill. The hawk cut the girls forhead above her eyes with its talons. The Mass. game and fish have removed the nest and eggs. The hawk has not been seen since the attack.

Opinion-- Ha Ha... Im not sure how this really constitutes CNN news but thats ok. Who gets attacked by a hawk. That just makes me laugh out loud. The girl clearly didnt know that the attack was coming. But shes ok and the hawk has vanished. Who cares?

Summary-- A 3 month old baby was brought into a Denver hospital today due to seizures. The doctors determined that the baby had meth in its system. They called poliece after finding this out. The baby's momma, a 27 year old was summarily arrest on child abuse. The woman had multiple run ins with the law previously.

Opinion-- What in gods name is wrong with people?? How stupid can you be?? Giving a 3 month old baby meth? These are the kind of people who do not to deserve to live. People already know how bad meth is for full grown people. To give it to a baby who doesnt even know that its bad? if you want to do it to yourself be my guest but dont give it to someone who cant stand up for themselves and say no. this is ridiclous!

Summary-- A Surimanese plane crashed today killing all on board. The Antonov AN-28, a twin turboprop light cargo aircraft went down on its landing approch to Benzdorp. It was said to have agressivly pulled up to avoid another aircraft on the landing strip. The plane then hit a tree and went down. The plane is operated by Blue Wing Airlines a charter company out of Paramaribo, Suriname.

Opinion-- Another back world avation accident. This is a bad deal all the way around. I am not sure why the pilot took such an action. The ATC should have alerted the aircraft before things got out of hand, as they did. Things in backwoods Suriname must be different than here in the US.. LOOK GUYS!

Summary-- A NATO patrol shot at a vehicle and killed one civilian in southern Afghanistan, NATO officials said. The patrol shot at the fast-approaching vehicle in Kandahar Province after its driver did not heed soldiers’ warnings to stop, the alliance said in a statement. Three other civilians were wounded, it said. NATO said an investigation into the incident had begun.

Summary-- This guy is an idiot.. He didnt stop, he got shot for it. He knew he was supposed to stop but he chose to not do so. So the NATO soldiers shot him. Done. Tough way to go but thats what you get.
