Penn Live Article

This is an example of a photojournalism article from Penn Live

Article title: Plane Crashes into House in Chicago, Killing Pilot
Writer: The Associative Press

The article was about a small twin-engine cargo plane that crashed into a house at 2:40 AM in Chicago.  The event was fatal for the pilot, but the couple living in the house made it out alive.  The plane crashed 8 inches away from the couple and they were not physically harmed in any way.  The plane was headed for a runway about a quarter of a mile away from the accident.  Luckily, only one person was in the plane.  The neighbors claim that there wasn't a loud crashing sound, they only noticed their houses shaking.  They were very surprised to see the sight when they walked outside.

I liked how the photos showed the crash from different angles rather than just one.  Also, I liked how pictures were taken right after the crash and the following day as well.  I thought that the article was very interesting and I think that it will help me to do my project.
