 We said yesterday Friday is a awesome¹ and that’s especially true for the students        

all faced in cathedral school in the virgin² islands we got this week’s social media 

question right I'm Carl Azuz,let’s go.

     First up, two rocket launches with 2 very different reactions, we’ve talked about 

North Korea failed launch last week, yesterday india ran a successful test of a long 

range missile. Other nations include United states critisized North Korea for it’s 

launch. But other than some mial disappoval from China, no one says much about 

india’s missile test. The difference idia is an ally of the US and it has a better 

reputation in the international community than North korea does. Jim clamsy has 

more on india test.

     The agony5 missile blasted through the clouds from an island of idia’s east coast 

released Thursday . Heading sky where on idia called a successful first flight, the 

agony which means fire and hindi can carry a one ton nuclear warhead and it’s 

believed to have a range of  5000 kilometers putting major chinese cities including 

Beijing within striking distance. India’s prime minister Manmohan Singh calls the 

Launch a major milestone³. “ the successful launch of agony 5 missile , this to do with

the sophistications and communpant to national causes on the part of the idia’s Sytro

gen and technological⁴ community ” the Lauch was flagged in advance but india did 

not attract kind of international criticism that North korea received for it’s failed rocket 

test last week. The lauch puts india in a very small club of countries. Only the 

permanent members of  the security council Britain  China France Russia and US along with 

Israel are believed to have such long range weapons. The india leaders say the 

missile is meant as a deters⁵ only. “ as beyond law I mean …  very challenging work. 

So I think the difference kept proporites with national campaign  are of vital 

importance.” Analysts⁶ say they believe the launch put india’s nuclear arm neignbours 

mainly China and Pakistan on notice. Chinese officals acknowledged the launch but 

downplayed any sense of the rivalry⁷ between the two nations.

       The tragic⁸ and  shocking event of columnbane high school of little town colorado

happened exactly 13years ago today. 2 students carring guns and bombs went into 

the school and open fire. They killed 13 people and wound 23 others and then took 

their own lives. A memorial for the victims of that attack columnbane opened in the 

park near the school at 2007. This shooting means school safety and nationwide

priority and let the programmes of policies that aimed to stop future attacks before 

they happened.

     Today also marks the 2 year anniversary of this explostion on the deep water 

Horizon oil rig of Gulf⁹ Mexico. 11 of the 126 people who worked on the rig 

were killed. The explostion led to the worst oil spill in US history. More than 200 

million  gallons oil leaked out into the water. Some of them wash up on the Gulf 

post shores. It took  85days to stop the flow of the oil into the gulf and nearly 4 month 

to completely sealled the under water oil well.
