3 killed after truck hits Mississippi school bus

On February 7, 2011, a tractor-trailer nearly hit into an oncoming school bus and than quickly crashed into another one head-on. The driver of the tractor, a teacher, and a school bus driver were killed in the accident. The accident took place in Calhoun City when a group of students from Ackerman High School in Choctaw County were returning from a trip to the University of Mississippi. It was a typical admissions visit for the high school seniors; they took a tour, had lunch and then left around one in the afternoon. 60 students were on the buses during the accident, and about 10 were sent to hospitals, while one patient was air-lifted. However, most of the students seemed to only have minor injuries such as bruises or scrapes.
This article was purely journalism. The journalist who wrote this article merely reported the facts and details of the accident. The investigation is still continuing, so more facts are likely to follow during the next couple days. However, this journalist reported an event to the community so that they can analyze the situation and determine the best way to deal with the issue. By doing so, the community becomes more independent and self-governing, as well as being properly informed of events occurring around them.
The core biblical truth for (Language Arts) Salvation is: Faith in Jesus Christ is the purpose of life; Faith in Jesus Christ enables man to discern the truth. Whenever we read about a person's death, the question of whether they were a Christian or not goes through my mind. Faith in Christ is the purpose of life, and if you die and you know you're a Christian, you know you're going to heaven. If you don't know Christ, than you're going to go to hell. If faith in Christ is the the purpose to life, it should only encourage us to spread the gospel to everyone we can; because we never know when our last day on earth will be. It could be 10 years from now, or even tomorrow. God is the one who determines when our time has come to an end, and we should make sure that we're right with God before its too late.
