Terror at 13,000 feet: skydiving mishap nearly kills 80-year-old                                                            By:Yukio Strachan

I chose to do do my article assignment on an 80 year old women that alomost lost her life when going parachuting on her birthday. This articlee was publisheed on May.24,2012 and since then has already racked up 451,000 views.

What happened on the day of this event was that it was this girl named Laverne Everette on her 80th birthday went skydiving in Acampo, California and it will proabably be the last time she ever leaves the ground. Everything was going fine until thee last second when shee was about to jump out she relizes that shee is not fully straped in and refuzes to jump but was forced/pushed out and falling at the speeds of around 125mph with a non working parachute.

This article affecteed me beeacusee i know that if it was mee up their free falling and I made it down I would neever leeavee thee ground again.Something that I learned about this is that wheen thee day comes that I want to go sky diving im going to make suree that I am fully straped in.
