Breaking News by eye-witnesses!

We watched this Breaking News video, which gave an eye-witness account of the accident that occurred a few years ago on Hudson River, New York. Thankfully, all 155 passengers and crew survived thanks to the pilot and the prompt response of rescue teams.


This is what we think of the lesson:
Nadina: When something happens all over the world there are usually lots of amateur photographers who capture the moment of the accident. Then they try to inform the media and the media present newsworthy events as Breaking News.
Debbie: Today we learnt about a dramatic plane crash which took place in NY on 15 January 2009. The event was captured by citizens who were eye-witnesses to this accident. I found this information very interesting and useful!
Georgia-Maria: In this lesson I learnt that I need to underline when I find the answers in the text to make sure I'm right!
Christine: In this lesson I learnt about an event which occured in 2009 when an airplane crashed in the river and amateur photographers captured the event taking photos.
Georgia: In this lesson I learnt about a breath-taking event that happent on 15th January 2009.
George: I learnt that in 2009 an aeroplane crashed.
Theodore: I learnt about an important event which occured in 2009 and new vocabulary!
Glykeria: I learnt about the increasing contribution of amateur photographers who capture all important events and inform us with their  eye-witness photos.
