The end of the year....

Top ten events of the year 2010


Starting off with number 1
1. The Haiti earthquake which happened on January 12th, it was a very devastating event in which 230 thousand people died and with many more injured. To this day there are still many people living in tent cities. To make all of this worse new diseases have wandered into the city (cholera).
2. An organization known as Wikileaks has leaked over 600 thousand videos, documents, and articles. Most of which were about of how the U.S. felt about another country.
3. Stuck underground (2300ft) for 69 days were the Chilean Miners. There were 33 men stuck in a copper mine in San Jose, Chile. This event marked the bravery and the faith they put into their work. Shortly after this mine collapsed another mine in New Zealand fell killing 29 miners.
4. The Pakistan floods were another disaster that struck in July which was triggered by monsoon rains. The entire damage was estimated to be 43 billion dollars to their economy.
5. North Korea’s threats to attack the south were fueled with even more rage when they found out that the U.S. was having training exercises with the South.
6. The South African world cup was a hit. For many reasons being that Spain won their first world cup title and the German octopus guessing that correctly.
7. You can’t possibly forget about the underwear bomb that was brought in from Yemen from a Nigerian man under the influence of Al Qaeda.
8. The Mexican drug war was also a pretty bad event in which 3,000 people died because of 1 man and 400 corrupted officials.
9. When there is oil around the gulf floating around, it’s probably BP where over 120 days were used in cleaning. People living there still are cleaning up the mess the BP company left.
10. The grand arrival of the Apple Ipad was also quite a big event because over 3 million of this tablet like devices was sold in an 80 day period.
