Journalism

I found out journalism is a lot harder than I thought. Between the never ending deadlines, impeccable grammar, and strict writing formats even the simplest story becomes a handful. I really had no idea what I was getting myself into and it's been a struggle. However, It was rewarding because I feel that I did learn some things along the way. It's always good to improve your writing skills. Those type of skills go a long way and aren't just limited to journalism. I definitely have a lot more respect for the field.

Car Bomb

It took just over 53 hours to catch the terrorist who attempted to set off a car bomb in Time Square. The bomb failed to go off, and Faisal Shahzad fled the scene unnoticed. FBI later caught Shahzad on a plane that was bound to the Middle East.
