PLN 12

In CNN’s article, U.S. swimmer dies during event in United Arab Emirates.” A 26 year old power-house named Fran Crippen from Pennsylvania died while competing in a 10-kilometer marathon swimming world cup. They are still under the investigation of how he had died. Even though I don’t strongly know this guy, it still affects me as a loss. It’s as if though I have lost my long-lost cousin. This matters to the world, because no matter where you are or what you’re doing, even if it is something as simple as swimming. It can still be dangerous. This replies to education, because we need to teach our kids how to stay above water, even though some people might not want to swim, water is all around us. Even though that we don’t know what happened to Crippen, it is still a huge tragedy.
