I found an article from the BBC News website and it was published on Wednesday, April 18, 2007. The title of the article is "Drillers target earthquake zone". It was published by Jonathan Amos. It says that researchers are going to drill down into an earthquake zone at the Nankai Trough off the coast of Japan. This project will cost hundreds of millions of dollars over the next 10 years. It is being coordinated by the Integrated Ocean Drilling Programme. One of main goals of this project is to understand why earthquakes and tsunamis occur, by pulling up samples of the earth's core and putting down sensors to monitor changes. This drilling project promises to be one of the most important scientific challenges of the next 10 years.
The major fire is another current event which has taken place in Fort McMurr
ay, Alberta. I found this article in Mrs. Book's blog website. The article was published on Tuesday, April 17, 2007 in the newspaper Fort McMurray Today. The title of the article is "Fire devastates apartment complex". It is written by Larissa Liepins and Paula Ogonoski. The fire was detected in a four-storey apartment building downtown, early in the morning on Tuesday. Approximately 300 residents had come out from the building onto the street. The fire alarm had started at around 5:30 a.m. There is no evidence of injuries or deaths. Twenty-five fire fighters had come there to handle the situation. The fire had taken place upon the roof of the building and started to come down from there. Noone knows what caused the fire so it is under investigation.

Hi Neha,
What an interesting article! If they can find out why earthquakes and tsunamis occur, maybe they could stop them or give people more warning before they happpen.
